S4 Emissions Removal
NOT asking for directions.
<- Knows how to search and I've been following the Rotary Resurrection guide on removing the rat's nest.
My question, is there any other guide similar that has much more detailed pictures? My vision sucks and the 216x162 images are just a bit too hard to make out.
Thanks.

Also - imgur: the simple image sharer
This bolt coming off -- Is there a way to remove it? I have screws that can go in (the other side of the block off plate is screwed in). Or do I just need to get some washers and use the original nut?

That's a stud, not a bolt and the most common way to remove a stud is the double nut method.
Screw two nuts (that fit, obviously) on the thread and tighten them against each other...not against the unthreaded shank of the stud.
Then take a wrench to the lowest bolt of the stack and unscrew it.
Or you can buy stud extractors.

It's not like to are going to use that stud again right?
Wrap a set of vice grips on it and unscrew that stud off the manifold.
It will come off easily,it is not as stubborn as most studs are in the engine!.lol!
I just made a block off for that same area!,like 2 days ago!

Why trash perfectly good hardware?
Every home mechanic should have a good selection of hardware on hand and specialty type stuff- studs being on the lower end of my "specialty" spectrum- are pretty expensive if purchased new.
Besides, it's not like double nutting is so onerous a task that he'd really be saving a bunch of time garbaging it up with vice grips.
At some point in the future he might need to remove a stud that will be reused, so better to learn the proper technique now and pack the info away in his mental toolbox.
