Exhaust manifold bolt

**captbo** · 11-18-2012, 03:04 PM

My exhaust system came friday and I began to spray the stock collector or flange bolts with PB blaster all I can see id the botton Stud and nut!, is it infact a stud or is it a "replaceable" bolt ! I am worried about breaking it!

Yes, it's a thread in stud. Heat and penetrating oil and it should come out of the manifold.

Spray them a couple more times before you go at them. When you do start take the wheels off, it will give you better access to them.

I have found as hard as it is to remove exhaust manifolds . I replace the bolts---- with studs then I put double brass taps on them --one to make sure the otherone does not back off.Plus I add a lock washer and I have not had anymore trouble taking them off later on down the line.

Use deep creep made by seafoam, best canned stuff I've ever seen. Keep a small torch handy also.

Heat helps, run the engine for awhile to heat up the bolts.
