Car: 1988 GTU (N/a)

The exhaust manifold stud that connects to the precat is stripped. Is this replaceable or do I need to find a whole used manifold to replace it?

If it is replaceable, where might I get the stud?

Thanks =)

 

i believe you can remove it...being a stud and all. and i dont know about the thread. just take it to a local place and try to find a match. or a bolt factory. hope you have a DD

 

It's an M10 x 1.25 I think. double check the pitch though. I found replacements at a local hardware store.

To remove it, thread two M10 nuts on there. then use two wrenches to tighten the nuts together. Then use one wrench on one of the nuts that are now stuck together. That will loosen up the stud.

if the threads are completely toast you could try a vice grip to get it out. last resort is drilling and tapping

there are also stud remover sockets you can get at some auto parts stores and tool stores.

 

try vice grips to get it out that always works for me, and its stripped what do you have to lose

 

I had to drill and tap one for mine, i'll have to do the other one next time i take the exhaust off . . .

 

Awesome, thanks for the responses. I will see if I can get it out and find one to replace it.
