Al Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 All good mechanics can do it easily. Just punch stud, drill, insert "easy-out", remove Lenish the face (using a large and decent, bench belt sander) of manifold to remove any "bow", as this will cause more studs to break Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/147529-exhaust-manifold-studs/#findComment-2753739 Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveL Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 Try: The Thread Doctor 0419 507 633 On site service to remove broken studs/bolts, but note the manifold/etc has to be removed. New studs are available from Nissan for a few dollars each.

Al Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 so drill a smallish hole and then just twist it out when their broken?i am a mechanic, but i have never done these before so i am not confident, the mechanic who is helpin me is very busy and doesnt even have time to check my car. whats easy out? lol "Easy-out": Is the name of a tool, is available in various sizes to suit various sized studs. It is like a Tapping tool but with a reverse thread that stops half way. You drill a correct size hole, "tap" the easy-out (turn in a reverse thread), once the easy-out bottoms out on the stud it starts to unwind the stud out of the thread. Detail Report: - Use a centre punch to carefully make a dent in the centre of the broken stud - Carefully drill into the stud, using an adequately sized drill bit. Make sure the drill bit goes in straight and square. - Tap in easy-out and remove stud. Due to the confinement of the engine bay, this is ALOT harder than how it reads, but is done on a daily basis by all good mechanics Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/147529-exhaust-manifold-studs/#findComment-2753758 Share on other sites More sharing options...
