Keyser Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Knock them out and replace with good old nuts n bolts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slipstream Posted May 11, 2014 Author Share Posted May 11, 2014 Was thinking this but the top flange has 2 x screw in studs if I remove these will it be ok with 2 x M8 or drill out threads and put in 2 x M10 ? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren-B Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Just drill out the threads, job done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMANALEX Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Are you referring to the exhaust manifold to cat fixings ? Alex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slipstream Posted May 11, 2014 Author Share Posted May 11, 2014 Yes Alex, that's the am referring to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMANALEX Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 So what is the issue with the 2 x studs and 1 x bolt and nut on each manifold that you wish to replace? Alex.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slipstream Posted May 11, 2014 Author Share Posted May 11, 2014 Hi Alex, the studs are corroded, so would need replaced at some point so best to do it before I put them on the car. Thanks, Stuart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techinstaller Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 I had the same problem but salvaged a couple from the center section while changing the original exhaust from the cats back for a miltek,just heated them up and knocked em out ,did the same to the ruined ones on the cat flange and inserted the used ones .just need heat and a hammer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMANALEX Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Providing they are not snapped and there is still some good metal then just apply some concentrated heat to the manifold flange and screw out the old stud. Be careful not to break them. I have plenty preowned OEM studs in stock or new OEM can be got from your local Nissan dealer. Best to also fit new nuts at the same time. Alex.

slipstream Posted May 12, 2014 Author Share Posted May 12, 2014 Hi Alex, can you pm me a price each on studs and bolts. Thanks, Stuart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMANALEX Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 I have plenty preowned studs Stuart so they would be free mate. If you want brand new then your local Nissan dealer can supply as they are not expensive. Also best with new nuts, also from Nissan.
