i've still got to get the other one off ? i have a decat pipe but i want the 100 cel cat in it coz i got pre and post sensors, the bottom stud bolt holding the pipe on at the turbo must be squashed or some thing ? the nut gets all the way to the end of the stud and then gets stuck and i mean stuck. tried a few things but i fear i we snap the stud ? its a right ****

cant u rethread the end of the stud?? just an idea if u have the gear

t4 tony · Mar 14th, 2011, 18:04

thought bout that but, what size is that stud ??? maybe a bit of heat might do it ?

deathrider311271 · Mar 14th, 2011, 18:11

i would think doing it that way you would twist the stud tbh, i was thinking more along the lines of using a tap and die set if thats the correct one to rethread the end of the stud correctly
