Re: [DML] Exhaust manifolds removal?

["Walter Coe" <Whalt@xxxx>]

My method of choice for removing stuck bolts is to use an impact wrench. My
logic here is that a jarring motion is more apt to shake it loose; whereas,
a slow gradually increasing torque applied by hand will let it twist off and
break.

I'm not advocating to put the impact wrench on its maximum setting the first
try. What I do is gradually increase the setting on the wrench so that
somewhere along the way the bolt will shake loose.

What is the better anti-seize compound to use on the manifolds? The silver
stuff or the copper stuff? I generally use the silver stuff on aluminum and
the copper on everything else. Is there any truth to this superstition or
is the copper better in every application?
