Fun Game: Guess the part I broke...

[Roadstergal]

I think the idea is to thread one on, then another; hold the outermost one in place to hold the stud in place, then use the other (tightening, go right) to screw the stud out.  I bet you could do it with one, now that I conceptualize it...

Pulling a stud out by the nuts while screwing - this thread is getting odder by the minute.

ok the idea is to lock the two nuts together on the stud, and then turn the whole ass.  out.  it works better if after you lock them together you turn on the inner one.

I had enough left-over to grab it with vice-grips...  Plus, I didn't have any nuts lying around that would fit...  Wasn't hard really...  Just took a little patience and care.  Just make sure you don't scratch anything up while you're in there.

I was close to trucking the bike to the shop...  Probably would have cost me $80!    Not to mention the favor of borrowing the truck.

please elaborate when you say put two nuts together [...] on it to get it out, I'm a bit confused.

See the fork tool that joefromsf came up with.  It should help you visualize what's going on.  (He added a washer, but you won't need it.  You probably won't have room for one anyway.)

Think about using a wrench to try to remove the inner nut from the bolt in the picture.  The outer nut won't turn, so the entire bolt has to.

AHA! it was like a lightbulb turning on in my head when I visualized it. Thanks kerry and roadstergal. David-pu, the ass. part made me laugh. Thanks.
