Are the special hole saw used to drill around studs still available any place. I was told they were made special for this purpose. I am working on 59A engine. Thanks.

Here's a couple of links. http://www.fordgarage.com/pages/swaging.htm
https://goodson.com/products/swedge-tools I just use a 5/8" hole saw. Be careful if you are going to reuse the drums. |

Yup you said 59A, I screwed up. But if you need to change your wheel studs
you know where to look. ![]() |

I know of the type of tool you are looking for, but hopefully it might not be necessary for a 59A with the stock iron heads. They were popular when aluminium heads were more common and they had lots of problems with dissimilar metal corrosion.
That said, the last 59A I pulled the heads on was a proper swine, but I did get them off. You can fabricate a pair of pullers using scrap spark plugs and some long bolts. Two pieces of plate to span the studs and at least you're in with a fighting chance. The hole saws, if you could find one, would leave you with oversize holes in the head. Mart. |

If the engine was still running an easy way to get the heads loose is to start it up with the head bolt nuts off. If you can turn it over it still might work, put the plugs in and see if the compression from turning it over will pop them loose.

Strange stuff. Soak the crap out of it. Heat the crap out of it. Repeat. Time is your friend. A wedge of brass or wood on the head to block is a decent assistant. Hopefully no one jb welded the head gasket.

Its called 'annular' Maybe not spelled right available from any industrial tool like Victor
Shars maybe ebay. Then way back with a spark plug adaptor they pumped grease in there "valves closed" better buy a case of grease tubes, not to mention shop rags for the mess but it really does work. So for 15 min. just braze a zerk on a cleaned out spark plug. pump the grease gun >> the power of hydraulics is amazing just pump no. 2 hole and no. 3 hole and watch......bingo " it lifted a Scotch remove grease fitting couple nuts wind head back down I hate snake oil but go for your choosing to spray some on all studs. No drilling no hy teck stuff just real time science and no damage... "the head didn't grow in there" Last edited by big job; 11-15-2020 at 10:26 AM. |

Here is another method that was used to get an old set of aluminum heads off. They were really stuck. An old time Model A guy suggested cleaning out around the stud hole perimeter in the heads as best you can, and use Kroil around around all the studs. Let it set for a day or two, and add more if needed. Off the old head came. If it worked on aluminum heads it ought to work on the cast iron heads as well.
