Hey guys, i was right in the middle of taking off all my old turbo stuff and getting ready for my turbo upgrade when i saw this. The bolt was missing. I knew it had to be when i was taking off my manifold. My question is:


1. I ordered the AMS GT 35r kit, will this kit come with replacement bolts?

2. If the kit doesnt come with it, Could i just get this part from Mits/Autozone?

3. If the new kit does come with it, how would i go about getting the rest off since the outside and inside are threaded? Special/certain tool?

 

Idk if my pic worked so here it is again.

 

mitsu should have it check the part # thread.

 

get stainless studs if your going to change them out anyways

heres a link to some lancershop.com - stainless manifold studs

 

Ok, sounds good. Anyone have any advice for getting them off?? I've tried sockets, air tools, the gator grip, almost everything and i still can't seem to get them off

 

You might try soaking them with liquid wrench or something like that first (if you haven't already)

 

Yup, tried that and WD-40

 

take two properly threaded/size nuts and spin both of them on....

until they bottom out on the blank part of the stud....then lock them into each other by turning them opposite directions.....(closest one to the head counterclockwise, and closest to you clockwise)

then try to turn the entire stud using a wrench on the nut closest to the head.....

or, find a larger nut to thread on first (with proper thread count and diameter) and stick a socket on.

Had to use that trick before, too. Good stuff! Thanks.
