Exhaust stud removal?

[nate'sCB7]

Its time for 'um to be replaced! They're old, rusty and need to Go! So how do you replace them?

[D1sclaimer]

Is there an exhaust leak or something? Or do you just want a cleaner look?

u need 2 nuts. put one nut on then chase it then remove the one u put on 1st with a wrench.

But, if you do not care about the studs you are removing, something like this will be much faster and easier.

[nate'sCB7]

And what is that my friend?

[noobcake]

that would be a stud remover

you use a 3/8s ratchet, and place the stud through either of the holes on the tool, and turn it. the toothed wheel, cams onto the stud, kind of "grabbing" it, in which it will turn and loosen the said stud.

Remove exhaust manifold and double-nut the studs, then remove. Consider ARP exhaust manifold fasteners, TAS also sells them to replace them. If I had reason to replace them, that is what I would do. Makes for easier header installs later too.

also when ur done putting them back in spray them with primer so they dont rust again...better yet use the high heat paint.

Anti-seizing the studs will prevent rust too.

as old as the studs are, they rarely snap off.
