Does anybody have an idea on how to get this exhaust stud out? There wasn't enough room to stick two nuts on and attempt to twist it out so I took a pair of pliers and tried to twist it off. The only thing that accomplished was messing up the threads. What are my options now?

 

did you use pliers... or vise grips... i used vise grips on mine and it twisted right off.

 

Use a stud remover, they should have them at any pepboys, autozone. the tool works great, i have takin out studs and had to reinstall them with no problem.

 

stud remover is the best way

vice grips put on with the power of zeus is another way

 

or have the car towed to a machineshop and have them weld a nut or hexed stud to the existing broken stud and take it off that way.

 

I'll second that.

You can drive it without a stud or 2 by the way. No biggie.

 

The power of Zeus was successful. Does anybody know the torque specs for the exhaust manifold bolts, downpipe bolts, and turbo outlet bolts of the top of their head?

 

If they don't answer by the time i get home i'll give you the specs

 

I found the torque specs but thank you anyways!!

Car is running now. Did you know that if you forget to plug the ECU in the car will still run but in limp mode?? ...I know that..lol!!
