exhaust collector leak 200 1984

posted by  someone claiming to be 240snowmobile on  Wed Sep 22 10:04 CST 2004 [RELATED]

I think might have to completely remove the exhaust manifold from the car to work on. Then heat the area around the stud - but not the stud itself - with a small propane torch. Grab the side of the stud with visegrips as tight as you can and cross your fingers it comes loose. Try it on the car first if you have the room to work; who knows, you might get lucky.

Otherwise you will have to drill out the center of the stud and pick out the remaining pieces. I've never had a lot of success with EZouts (stud extractors). They always seem to break inside and then you have an even bigger problem.

You might want to clean up the threads on the mani with a tap before you put new studs in. Have fun.
