Re: Exhaust manifolds removal?



I recently had to do this to my car right after i got it. There is 
onyl one real way to do this. Soak the bolts and studs with a good 
rust eater. Do this for about 2 nights or so, then you have to use 
an acetyline torch to remove the bolts. I did this and still had 
one break that i had to have removed. The problem is the aluminum, 
inside the head/block the metal oxidizes, and starts to eat away the 
bolts a little, the real proble is that the oxidation binds when 
removing studs,bolts, etc, and then they usualy break.If you can get 
the manifolds off i would either replace all the studs, bolts etc, 
or reuse the studs , chance them with a chacer and use new nuts and 
washers. Grady sells a whole kit i believe. I left my studs in 
because I was too scared to try and remove them.
