My front top exhaust manifold stud has broken off, the stud that holds the pipe for the oil dip stick.
I know the standard way of removing broken studs is to remove the Turbo Pipes etc and completely remove the exhaust manifold then weld a nut onto the broken stud. If I take off the above Mr Stud remover will take approx 45mins or less at a cost of $xxx.
However in removing the other nuts from the other 13 studs, I could break say another 3 so then its 45mins x 3 at $xxx x 3 to Mr Stud remover.
You can get at this broken stud with a drill to drill out this stud, anyone done this without removing the exhaust manifold?
Thanks
Peter
