1992 Volvo 240 Exhaust Gasket Manifold Studs Removal Breakage 200

posted by  someone claiming to be Build on  Wed Mar 27 13:34 CST 2019 [RELATED]

Hi Everyone,

I've decided to replace my, slightly leaking on one cylinder, exhaust gasket. This has been ongoing for awhile and I've tolerated it because I don't want to break the studs on removal, and make a tiny annoyance into an all day project.

I've been spraying the nuts daily for a couple months with PB Blaster, but upon heating them with a torch and trying to loosen, they are still tight, zero movement, feel like they will break. I have replacement studs and nuts for all of them, and easy outs, drills, taps, if things go wrong.

Any ideas of how to proceed without things going wrong?

Thanks, Jim
