Abstract: A stud insertion and mounting device with a threaded bore formed axially through a tubular body. The bore has an open end and a closed end in which an abutting and locking means is positioned at the closed end to abut the stud for rotatably threading said stud into a suitably tapped receiving hole. A means for releasing the abutting and locking means from the mounted stud is provided, upon which when the device is rotated, the device is unthreaded from the mounted stud. The abutting and locking means may be a cylinder with a chamfered end or other shape. The device may be rotatably driven by a conventional pneumatic source or by hand through a conventional socket or open-ended wrench.

Abstract: A stud removing tool for removing a threaded stud from an associated stud mounting member having an elongated sleeve member with an internally threaded gripping end and an internally tapered stud locking end. A pilot member having a closed drive end, and an internally threaded bore end is provided. The drive end has an external angle of taper less than the internal angle of taper of the sleeve member, in which the angle of taper increases as it is directed toward the internally threaded bore end. The bore end of the pilot member has multiple finger splits directed from the open end to the closed end. When the tool is in use, the pilot is co-axially disposed in the sleeve member, with the bore end of the pilot threaded onto the end of a stud. A plug member is provided, having a driving end and an externally threaded mating end adapted to engage the internally threaded gripping end of the sleeve member and to axially abut the closed end of the pilot member.
