What is the best way to install new studs for my header on gsr. Thanks

 

Right where the stud and the head meet, there might be a small place without any threads, and it's flattened on opposite sides on the stud. You should be able to fit a small open ended wrench around there, and turn them out and back in. Hopefully that makes sense. It's similar to the end of a shock, and holding onto that with a small wrench to keep the shock from turning.

 

alright thanks for the help.

 

an easier way is to double-nut the stud and screw it in by turning the top nut...the bottom nut will keep the top nut from turning down the stud. This is how i put in all studs, unless they are like the new ARP which now have a spot for a hex key.

This would work as well, maybe even better since you won't be turning a wrench right next to the head.

 

ok thanks guys for your help. i will try that tonight.

 

double nut works, but i have this tool called a stud remover from snap on, and man it works alot better than the double nut method

The poly lock type stud remover? Those work good.

 

its the kind that slips over the stud, and as you tighten or loosen it will grab the stud and turn it, works damn good if you ask me

yea those stud removal tools work great! If you have access to MATCO tools then buy the one they sell, it's only like $50 and works awesome. I use my se almost everyday.
