Hi all,

Recently there has been some discussion about changing manifold gaskets and that there are broken studs involved.

In the threads people say they called "a guy" in to help them out. Yet no1 mentions any names. Im in melbourne and was wondering if anyone knew of a name and number of a guy that can help. Because i know I have at least 2 broken studs :P

Any ideas... Thanks

you can buy a set of bolt extractors and get them out yourself, it's pretty easy

once you have the bolt extractors. just get a centre punch, and punch a indentation in the middle of the snapped stud. Drill a small drill bit into the stud to create a pilot hole, and use the correct size bolt extractor on it and comes out easy!

the bolt extractor thingo's have a reverse thread, so you screw them into the hole you made with a socket wrench, and as it screws in, the stud will start turning

this is what you need, you can probably buy them from hardware stores/supercheap/repco etc.

Yeah i have them theyre called easy outs.

The only problem is if youve ever had your manifold off you notice there isnt a hole lotta room in there :)

Also if you dont get it exactly straight, and things go bad then you have to get the holes re tapped!!!

Not my idea of fun... lol

Thats for the info though... i may still give it a go. Afterall its all about the experience thats why im doin it myself

once you get the eazy out in place go really easy on them as they are quite brittle and do break .if ya break one flush with the stud your in real trouble as they are bloody hard to drill out i have a broken stud i need to fix soon as well good luck with it
