Does anyone know a reputable machine shop that can press out a stud from my cat?

 

When I had a stripped cat bolt a while back, I just used a small sledge hammer to replace it with a new one. It was loud, but it worked.

 

I would imagine any small auto shop would do it for $10.

 

+1 for the big ****** hammer solution

it'll take you longer to find a hammer than it will to knock that stud out

 

x3. I did the same. they arnt in very tight. I knocked all 3 out and used new hardware.

 

You guys make it sound so easy! i have been trying for the past 2 days with wd40, a ball peen hammer and vice grips but i have given up. I just wish i could take it somewhere now. I guess since nobody knows of any i will go out and buy a 3lb hammer and some liquid wrench and try again.

 

Sounds like you should just open a few beers and invite these guys over

 

yeah buy some beer...i'd love to watch you pull a stud out of your cat...

 

A blow torch might give it some motivation.

a mounted vice maybe?
