Broken studs are a f*cking joke, i knew 1 was rooted, then i noticed if im going to get more leverage with sockets n stuff to the welded broken one, im gonna possibly remove another stud thats causing a bind up of the anti clock wise motion, i touch it with thumb and fore finger and its notice-ably loose , i thought, shucks, makes life easier, hand turn it out, then the whole stud drops to the garage floor, and its like, some clown has already f*cked it up previously and because it can be turned in hanging by half a thread we will just leave it, LOOOOOOLLLLL, F F S !!!!

Sorry to bump this dead thread but have been searching all arvo without much luck, does anyone know the Nissan part number for exhaust stud nut? RB20/25

My dopey local Nissan parts man couldn't even tell me the stud P/N. Have already found that and the yokes and washers but the damn nut continues to elude me.

Has anyone had success using that freeze spray bearing places sell to shrink the studs enough to get them out ?

I've used the freeze spray on turbo bolts and nut when I changed to a 3" bell-mouth dump, worked a treat.Will use it on the manifold studs when I replace the gasket and have the manifold machined, was thinking to heat the head around the exhaust ports ever so slightly before I squirt the freeze spray.

Will be using one of these to extract the stud.... https://www.tradetools.com/products/818A

locktite freeze and release always works really well provding the stud isnt already snapped and just hanging on there it will get it off no problem without snapping it.
