Re: LH Ram Horn's Exhaust Manifold

I just finished replacing studs on two other manifolds. This is the technique I used:

Soaked the studs in penetrating oil for a couple of days.
Weld a nut to the base of each stud.
While the stud is still hot, unthread it using a deep well socket and ratchet.

The heat from the welding helps break loose the studs from the manifold. Replacement stud kits (3 pack) can be purchased from any reputable parts store for about $5.

I can ship it to you for $37 total ($12 shipping). If the stud replacement is a deal breaker, I can extract the old studs prior to shipping it.
