I'm going to post this in the car thread too to cover all the bases. This is a question I posed on the Facebook BMW R1150GS forum.
"I'm in Bracknell, Berkshire, UK. I should have left well alone but I tried to remove the down pipes. In so doing I snapped three of the four manifold studs. The bike is still rideable for pottering about with the exhaust held by one nut but I need it fixed. I've made contact with a company - Thread Doctor which is fairly close to me and do a mobile service. Are there any other options, i.e mobile stud removal people in the South of England? I absolutely do not want to dismantle the bike and send parts away, I do not have the time".
I keep getting suggestions about how to do it myself by welding a nut to the stud etc. My reply to that was - I cannot emphasise how much I do not want to do this myself.
Does anyone on here have a good suggestion for a mobile stud removal person?
