The right side lugs, 2 nuts with a ground inbetween.. are stuck together and cant get them loose... What should i do????

Im trying to replace my coil so help! thanks in advance

Spray em with a little PB Blaster, and let it sit for an hour or so. Do not force them or you'll break the studs.

 

PB Blaster? where can i get it and what is it?

 

Most auto parts stores. It is a compound that breaks apart the rusted, hard to get off, bolts. It comes in a spray bottle. It works great. Depending on how bad the studs are, it might take a while to work.

 

Alright thanks, I'll have to pick some of that up tomorrow

 

my car was like this too. I was trying to do the ICM spacing mod. I never got there b/c i broke my engine ground off and had to rig it back. I guess the pb blaster will work. I had a wrench on the lug and the stud and worked it for twenty minutes and still wouldnt budge! maybe youll have better luck...

 

so i went and bought some PB Blaster this morning, and ive been spraying it on every like 15 minutse or so and trying before i spray it... tapping it like it says on the bottle after it doesnt work and spraying some more... Its been sitting for at least an hour now... What should i do?

 

Is that the ground on the bottom right of the engine? Mine was stuck too. I just snipped the damn thing and I'm going to put a new eye terminal on the wire.

 

Id rather not just start cutting stuff and replacing it...

 

I hear ya, just meant it's not the end of the world if you have to put a new ring terminal on

 

I hear you on that one too but wouldnt that require some soldering? And once i just snip that off i would be able to just replace unscrew the stud and replace it? or am i wrong?

 

Try putting a wrench on it, and while holding presure on it tap it on top with a hammer. This works in most cases when using penatrating oils, and with screws and allen heads that are stuck.

 

I'll attempt the hammer and wrench idea, but if this doesnt work... what size thread is it and what size stud....and anything else ill need to know when getting replacements

 

hammer and wrench didnt work, what kind of stud do i need ie thread size, length, width, and whatever else i'll need to know

 

In the parts manual that i downloaded offline it says:

3-A12**2.183**STUD, IGN COIL (INBOARD)****94 F (LT1).. 1** 14057279
*************(STUD, HEX
*************3/8-16X.80-3/8-16X.80 300M
*************POR) (8.981)..........................

could i just go to like napa auto parts or something and ask them if they have a stud with those specs? Where is a place that would have these?
