Exhaust Manifold Removal, Need Help!
Hi guys,
I know this subject has been fried pretty much on here... however, the tips I get are for removing the studs and removing mainly the top studs, picture of the top ones too.
First, my manifold has been changed once already... so it has bolts not studs. Two, the guy put them on... must of put some bolts that rust as heck.. in any case, ...
The top two bolds, in the middle on the passenger side have nicely with force let lose... the first bolt at the top, and the last, just stripped rather then move. I've done everything in terms of spraying it with whatever available to help. Still nothing, now those two I can use angle grinder and cut the heads off.
However, my question is, how do I get to the bottom ones since those are not giving up either... do I have to remove the starter to get access or is there another trick to this, to get to and cut the 4 heads off??
All suggestions are welcome. Thanks in advance!
