Had the exhaust off a week ago, but a stud snapped and it's been a nightmare to get out.
Went to clean everything up one the stud was ready to put back in and his part litterally just dropped to the floor....
Been using heat, penitrating oils and cutting oil. But done no work on that outtake.
Seen some images with these damages and exhaust swapped out, but no comment on if there was ever issues
Had a look through some posts, but thought worth asking based on where I'm at.
From the get go the unit has been a challenge. One stud has snapped at the head of the header, but enough left to extract.
Everything is loose, but the header is jammed in the block. Left with oil to loosen up and even a few taps to loosen the seal to the engine. Still not moving a mm.
Engine has 28k on it and I assume it's the original stock.
Before I start hitting it with some heat. Any tricks or tips?
Cheers
