Hello All,
In replacing my downpipe, two of the three exhaust manifold to downpipe studs came out along with the attached copper nuts.
What is the best way for these two studs to be firmly installed into the manifold so they don't come out?
I don't think there's enough room to use doubled nuts on the studs for insertion as I recall there's not enough room to deal with inserting an open end wrench into the space.
I have red and blue locktite. Would that work?
If I crank a doubled nut with my socket, when I try to get nut no 1 off, I'm certain I'll pull the stud out again cause nut no 1 and nut no 2 won't easily separate.
Any suggestions as I'm sure lots of you have BTDT.
Thanks much,
Marty Wolfson
