i bought mine used and knew some nuts and bolts were missing so i got the install kit from buschur. then i got to thinking about the band clamps. i got three band clamps with it and they each have two bolts in them to tighten them. my question is, are there supposed to be nuts for those bolts or do they just stay tightened? my clamps don't have any nuts but i guess i could just go to lowes or home depot and get some if need be. thanks.

 

Nope, they thread into the soilid part on the clamp itself with no nuts.

Enjoy your new setup

good luck in getting it aligned so it doesn't hit or rub your tie bars or carrier bearings.

 

have one other question. the 17mm downpipe bolts. are there supposed to be nuts with those or do they just thread into the o2 housing?

 

They thread into the stock o2 housing, The T back fits well for me so you should be happy with it.

 

did you guys need air tools or just hand tools to take off the stocker. dont know if i should attempt it at home or do it at my shop (the shop has air tools). thanks.

 

I took mine off with hand tools but it was a pain.

 

Use some Liquid Wrench or PB Blaster beforehand and let it set. They're penetrating lubricants and do a good job. I've heard of folks who had a day/night they were going to do the install and each morning/evening/whenever leading up to the work they'd spray the bolts/nuts/etc. Usually, by the time they're ready to settle in with a wrench it'd come easy.

Good luck!
