I need to remove/install a new exhaust manifold stud on my 99 EX (D-series). Can you guys tell me the easiest way to do this?


Thanks,
Brandon

 

Utilize 2 nuts if the stud isn't damaged. If it is shot, vise grips will do the trick. If you are using the 2 nuts. Put on nut on, then the other. Now tighten the nuts against each other. Use the inboard nut to loosen the stud with a open end wrench. The nut shouldn't come off because it tight against the other nut. I assume you've damaged the threads, so if you're replacing it use the vise grips.

 

put 2 nuts on there one backwards and one normal and tighten them together and turn the outer one like your takin the nut off and it will losten the stud up...

 

Great guys! Thanks a lot!
