Dammit, Broken Exh Manifold Stud

[hardsteppa]

hi all, have just picked up a series 2 r33 and have been giving it the once over. Noted the exhaust manifold nuts were all very loose, so was giving them a tighten and the firewall end one snapped clean through....wasn't even really putting any pressure on it at that stage, just a one-handed spanner tighten. Curse my huge muscles. Anway, will be swapping out the rest of them for new studs and bolts now, but does anyone have the name/number of a mobile borken bolt/stud removalist who can come remove the broken one? it seems to be broken off flush with the head, and the exhaust manifold is still on. Really hoping it can be done without having to pull anything more off. Does anyone have any suggestions on who to call?

Give Danny from Prothreads a call.. 0402 106 388 is his number.

Either him or Craig from Threadtech.

We use both for work and they are both good

If your lucky sometimes you can spray inox around the bolt and twist it with your pinkie/long nose pliers till it comes out. Thats only if its not thread bound.

couldn't reccommend highly enough, came out on a public holiday the second time

i had him out to put helicoils brand new studs in each stud hole for my exhaust manifold because some of the studs had chewed out the thread in the head

then had him out again and he put in a big mother fucker helicoil a year later when i pulled out one of those helicoils he did (long story but the head on my car is soft as it's been overheated before by the previous owner so i've had plenty of issues with studs)

Problem is solved now, thanks for the help guys.
