Greetings,
I have a 1990 245DL. I am replacing the exhaust system and broke one of the studs between the exhaust manifold and header pipe. I tried a bolt extractor and broke that too. I grinded through the extractor and then drilled all the way through the bolt.
I figure my next move is to re-thread the hole with a tap. Does that sound like the right move? If so, what size stud is it? What size tap do I need to thread a hole that will fit that stud?
Any help, suggestions, experience would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
