Okay so I was changing my exhaust manifold and 02 housing but I ran out of time. (shop was kicking me out haha) I wasn't completely done with the manifold so I had an exhaust leak. I tightened the few bolts that I had on as tight as I could to minimize the leak. But now when I try to fix the leak, I can't get the bolts off that I previously put on so tight. This sounds stupid but its a pain because I can't get the bolts off to fix it

Any ideas to get off stuck bolts?

 

Also Its just 1 bolt. The Nut is stuck towards the end of it. I can move the manifold slightly. But I am unable to remove because of the 1 nut stuck on the bolt.

 

all I can say is "DO NOT STRIP IT" have you tried taking it out when the manifold is hot, it would work almost like torching a nut in those old cars.

 

Try "mouse milk" its and additive that will lubricate the threads for those hard to pull bolts and nuts. Just soke it for 10-15 minutes and you should be able to pull it.

Or if you want just poor a little brake fluid on it and let it soke for the same 10-15 minutes, that will work also.

BUT becareful not to make the brake fluid catch your paint.

 

well there you go, go and try to milk a mouse

 

Okay I will try that. Also I'm trying to put in the two bolts on bottom of the manifold but for the life of me I can't get them to line up haha.
