Saved my bacon

thank you man!! I am waiting on a new manifold and needed to learn how to go about installing new studs. appreciate this solid little video

What happens if you placed them the wrong way?

Thanks I was wondering how I was going to get those on but now I know I appreciate it

Excuse me, I am installing a new catalytic converter for my Pontiac g3 2010 and I got the part and it came with these three threaded studs as you are using in this video. When I attach it to the front exhaust pipe, is there suppose to be a gap between the two or will it snug into place as i tighten the nuts on the studs?

Thank you so much for this! I am currently working on my P{ontiac g3 2010 and installing a new catalytic converter and exhaust pipe and as someone only starting with DIY mecahnic stuff, your video is gonna help me. Respect from Nigeria!

Thank you great job!

This helped me so much with what I was trying to do i appreciate the video 💯

Aren't those "studs"?

Thanks for posting this...as many have said, this is a very old technique for installing a threaded stud. However, not all people looking things up on KZbin are seasoned experts and know all these techniques and tricks. And, BTW, your explanation and filming was great. Some of the "experts" are so spastic, both verbally and with their camera, the content is practically worthless. You did great.

Helped out. Ran into this issue installing a Corsa Exhaust. Thanks for the video!

I send you something ❤❤❤

You are the main ❤❤❤great 👌 👍

Thank you , can you tell me where the two little o rings go on a 1995 lt1? Thank you

now can you do this the opposite way to get them off without removing the whole manifold off the car?

Wouldn't this work if you used a regular boot with a head on it ? Good idea though

It's too shiny for the camera

Thanks ❤

nice bro but what about the 2nd one 😂

Thanks

Nice trick!

Thank you soooo much! Just 1 min work, and the problem solved!

How many miles were you at when this happened ?

Thanks .. usually hardly mentioned in other LT-1, & 4 water pump videos

Bro I but three nuts on it and full sent it

If your bolt doesn't spin easily it's because the threads are messed up. If you look closely there's 1 of the threads that he stripped hanging on the stud when he removed it. This video should be called how to cross thread. Just go get a proper tap smh 🤦🏽‍♂️

Thanks man, helps me a lot.

Thanks, on my NB, I had to take the cover off and lube the spring through the little hole underneath it. Top lubing didn't loosen it up enough to make a difference.

Lmao just starting using an old Debit card pry that shit open 😂 glad I found this video before any cars were sacrificed

so use two nuts and lock them together. glad to see it

Ok, now do all that procedure under your car. Good video, but it didn’t work for me.

Worked on Mazda6

Them studs are a pain in the dick especially when they are rusted

Wow, that is incredibly simple and effective thank you. I would have struggled greatly trying to screw this in with one nut. My turbo lost one of its flange studs while I was taking out the catalytic converter on my Audi A4 b8.5. was semi concerned how I was gonna screw it in. Off I go to install my new test pipe!

young man well done for figuring it out, but clearly you haven't been on the planet long enough yet! anyone with basic knowledge would know this !

The reason the manual tells you which way to install it is because it will slide on and locate easier the correct way around. Once installed, it makes absolutely no difference at all which way you have it, it's a coupler, and it is near indentical both ends. The end with the groove on the outside has bevels on the spines to help it locate and slip into place, for that to be of any use the coupler needs to be put onto the water pump before installation. If you install it reversed, it works the same, but you would install it on the drive shaft then install the pump. To suggest it'll overheat or run any different is a little odd, it physically can't change anything about how the engine runs or how it drives the pump. I know what the manual says, but i also know it doesn't say why GM wants it done that way, and the only reason why is so it'll line up the splines without undue effort.

Wow, that was a good trick thank you

how many nuts are suppose to be one each stud?

How do you know which end is supposed to go on which side?

My boy sound like the joker lol

Thanks

I've seen this another videos but you did a great job of showing how the two flanges go together of the nuts. Great job thanks

I thought my header was a lost cause haha

Tardy to the party, just bend the catch on the lid closest to the rear bumper inward towards the hinge a millimeter or so at a time. Lube helps, but if the latch cannot depress the plunger far enough to clear the catch it doesn't matter. I have a different aftermarket lid so YMMV.

Big help and thanks for making tthe video

I'd put on a new coupler everytime I change a waterpump. Better to be safe than stranded.

What a genius idea. Thank you so much. I wish I saw this video sooner before ruined one bolt.

For me personally it was the metal rod that goes into the cylinder. What i needed to do was slightly depress the clutch pedal and then aim wd40 at the point of the rod thats near the hole it goes into. Then i just kept pumping the pedal afterwards until it was fully silent.

Thanks for the tip! Great stuff!
