Need Help

[johnny boii]

hey guys i own a redtop sr obviously someone is gonna tell me to go to a silvia forum but i like this forum and everyone that has helped me before has done a gud job so here we go

at the minute im changing the exhuast manifold gasket i have a 2 piece dump which allows me to take it all out in 1 lump making it alot easier

were the dump connects to the exhuast instead of using a stud they have used a bolt

i cant get a socket and or spanner (ring or open ended) onto it becuase its hugging the dump to tightly there was a nut on top of it becuase i think the bolt was acting as a stud i have got the nut off.

because i have had no succes getting it off with normal means i went to a chisel and hammer to unscrew the bolt all was going well till i hit the end of the thread on the bolt as it is damaged i can no longer get it to move and therefore not allowing me to finish gettn the manifold out.

IF ANYONE ACTUALLY UNDERSTANDS WAT I AM SAYING

PLEASEEEEE HELP

wat options do i have eg. drilling it cuttin the head of the bolt off just need to no the best one thanks aloy

Soak in it WD40/CRC/ for a few hours, drill it, heat it up then drill it out. Once its out, re-do the threads, and use proper studs.

If space is an issue, take the entire exhaust off the hangers and drag it out, gives you some room to work with

[gazza750]

use a tap and die and redo the bolt thread then nut should unwind
