Korker Replacement Stud Question

[cow tamer]

When starting out new or with stud replacements, anti seize grease seems to help.

I used never-seez regular grade last year. It worked like a charm. I put it on in the beginning and didn't do anything else all season. I didn't even try to tighten them along the way. In December they were all still snug and came out easily. No rust, no anything.

I'd say sell the ones you have to someone who likes to mod them with screws and start over.

Crafty if they are shot , i have a pair of large that i never used. I got it as a gift , but i need x-large. Never got around to returning them. I will give you a good deal or maybe we could do a trade for some of your work. PM me if you have interest.

Thanks, Tyler - I'll shoot ya a PM before work...

Looks like I'll be using Never-Seez on my next pair...

Did some research and I'm still gonna try soaking the snapped studs with a penetrating oil called Kroil and see if I can back 'em out with a Grabit tool just for future reference

I'll keep ya posted on the results

Hmmm...got a can, in fact just used it yesterday on a sticky doorknob, that stuff's incredible

I'll give it a try - thanks

If they're broken off or really rusted in, the entire insert will sometimes spin free and make that stud useless. I've been using blue grease on the threads of my wading boots and korkers with great success, makes changing spikes much easier.
