6mm stud, stud remover tool too big. Any ideas?

[ninja_butler]

I bought this stud extractor tool, which according to the instructions will fit a 6mm stud, but because the stud is very worn, I'm not getting any grip at all; the stud is like 5.9mm.

I'm going to try tightening up the tool with a wrench (if I can get it in there) but I think it's already at maximum tightness.

Is there something I could wrap around the stud to get more grip?

What are you trying to remove and where?
Stilsons/monkey wrench are pretty good for this sort of thing. Because of how they're designed, the harder you pull, the tighter it grips.

If there is good thread then run two nuts onto it and tighten them together. Then use a spanner on the bottom nut to unscrew the stud.

This type of stud remover is much better by the way.

The answer is on the packaging. You need the next size down.

I bought one of those when my exhaust studs snapped. No good even on 8mm part of the stud. Return it as not fit for purpose.

Where is the stud? if its exhaust make sure the engine is hot when trying to remove it.

I would recommend an ER11 collet chuck and collet. They are cheap, I doubt there is anything better for the job. There is a pair of flats on the body you can use to turn it. ER11 has a max 7mm, ER16 does 10mm, ER20 13mm.. Collets are seperate. ER11 has half mm range, so you want a 6mm.

If it's an exhaust stud, take it to someone with a welder and get them to weld a nut to the end of it then use that to unscrew it. Before you break it and have a much bigger job on your hands.
