Stud Removal Nuts for Stanley and Record Cast Iron Planes. Also Keen Kutter, Winchester, Millers Falls, Craftsmen, Dunlop, Wards Master, Wards Lakeside, Rev-O-Noc and later Union Planes.

If you have a 9/32"-24 left hand thread, these nuts will allow removing the Plane Iron Depth Position Stud from the frog without damage to the stud or the adjustment wheel. See #8A on the attached Stanley Plane Parts Diagram to locate the Plane Iron Depth Position Stud. These Stud Removal Nuts are machined a few thousandths larger to allow easy threading, even on the old rusty ones.

Stud Removal Instructions: 

1) Remove the adjustment nut (wheel) from the stud by turning in a clockwise direction. If the adjustment wheel is difficult to turn, use soft jaw pliers or Cannon plug pliers to avoid damage.

2) After removing the adjustment wheel, add a few drops of penetrating oil where the stud threads into the frog and let it soak in for a few minutes.

3) Thread on both Stud Removal Nuts past the rounded end of the stud and tighten against each other with two 7/16 inch open end wrenches.

4) Now turn the rear Stud Removal Nut, the one closest to the frog, in a clockwise direction with the open end wrench and remove the stud.

"These are fantastic! If you restore planes and need to remove the adjustment stud then you need these! Other methods may or may not work. But every stuck stud I have came out with these."

“Such a simple tool to solve a very specialized problem restoring old Stanley bench planes. As soon as I heard about them I searched, found them here, and bought them. Shipped promptly and packaged well. Tried them right out of the package and cleanly removed an adjustment screw I was struggling with. So much nicer than trying to balance enough force to twist with smooshing the threads. I never thought I’d find nuts like to fit the bizarre Stanley threads.“

“Wow! These Stud Removal Nuts work great. I immediately tried removing the stud from the frog of a plane I am working on and it came right out without any problem. So nice to be able to use a wrench to remove the stud rather than vice grips on an old mangled Depth Adjustment Knob. Thanks so much, and also for the fast delivery.”
