Wanting to overhaul the Simpson Lawrence anchor winch I needed to unbolt it from the deck. Its held by 4 x 10mm diam stainless studs into the bottom of the winch (aluminium) and through the deck.
Three studs came out OK, the fourth is siezed.
I have tried two nuts locked together to try to remove this, but have sheared the stud twice so far. There's still about 50mm stud left !
Any ideas on how to remove the stuck stud?
I have the winch off the boat now, and on the bench, being able to remove it with the offending stud still in it.
