How to install new exhaust flange bolts into old exhaust manifold, the easy way

[@sarahkristensen3016]

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

[@mikevarner9082]

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.

[@orboakin8074]

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!

[@Eatshhhushi]

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

[@brandonmartin8740]

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

[@davep1635]

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

[@williamwormann7798]

Thanks for shairing. Helped me out. now off to get new studs and nuts. I was lost. Did not want to get New Cat very expensive. You saved me aton of Money. I am Very for youre expert Advice. Bill in New Jersey

[@williamwormann7798]

Very Happy for youre Good Advice

[@leerood9079]

Great idea! So simple that most people wouldn't think of it!!

[@PaulHenreid]

Excellent video of the two nut workaround for exhaust studs without damaging the threads or buying a kit.

[@Maxreverse]

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

[@jackofalltempos]

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!

[@isiesmartinez5123]

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

[@barnburner2475]

Well done sir, well made video for a phone. Exactly what I thought you would do.

[@RickBolt]

Thanks for posting these tips.

[@jtpro]

Forgot about that trick. 😉Thanks for reminding me.👍 wish it was that easy with it still being in the vehicle.🙄

[@some-replies]

Awesome thanks. Changing the gasket on a 67 mustang and the nut was cross threaded. Old stud came out instead of the nut coming off so I'm changing hardware. Never done studs that don't have a head to wrench on

[@ForfeMac]

Just run a tap through the manifold side, then you can spin 'em in by hand. The studs are interference fit on the nut side so it'll bottom out the stud when you torque down the nut. And don't forget the nickle antiseize on everything, making it easy on the next guy is a good idea, since it's usually you.

[@matthewmclean9734]

Certain brands don't tap their bolts correctly and call it an interference fit... Tap the bolts as well or have fun drilling them out again after following the brands "directions".

Great vid amigo. Answer to my problem

You can also use some pb blaster to spray the hole

[@revmatchstudios]

That's true, pretty much any penetrating oil will work.

Awesome, thanks just what i was looking for

Glad I could be of help!

[@tombuckhalter4123]

Thank you. I'll be doing this tomorrow morning.

[@orboakin8074]

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?

[@alwaysforeigner]

Thanks, very helpful 👍

[@salvadoruribe2653]

Wow, that was a good trick thank you

[@benjaminsmith1429]

Thanks very helpful and universal. Just used on my Honda atc 200x 👍🏻👍🏻

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

[@rasdavis8390]

Thanks ❤

[@w.e.smithereens8178]

That's the oldest trick in the book rookie LOL good job

[@sirkid8553]

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

[@johnboy6840]

Very good video but one video says to put anti-seize on threads

[@revmatchstudios]

That's a good rule of thumb.

[@jeremyhill9868]

Brilliant

[@Onedeepdrew]

We’re did you get those bolts and nuts? What size are they?

[@revmatchstudios]

I got them from Oriellys, the size is M10-1.50 × 62mm And the part number is 03133 by Dorman

[@jamesbeason8646]

Thank you sir that helped alot

[@revmatchstudios]

No problem, glad to be able to help you out.

[@calebm.mclaren8465]

Nice!

[@knight5188]

Should this be a good way to back the stud out ?? before I get down there and start on my headers swap

[@revmatchstudios]

Yes, as long as the nuts are tightened enough together, and it wouldn’t hurt to use some penetrating oil where they screw into the manifold/header, especially if they are rusted in

[@anthonyhiscox]

To back it out you would need to wrench the bottom nut. Otherwise you will just loosen the top nut if the stud is stuck in there.

[@carlloggins9297]

First thing on this is anti seize on stud! Don’t forget that

[@Seshw1lly]

What size are those studs?

[@revmatchstudios]

M10-1.50 × 62mm The part number is 03133 by Dorman

[@russellallen1976]

Awesome

[@holmwood1807]

How do you get the old ones out?

[@revmatchstudios]

I used a pair of vice grips to grip onto the old studs, and a hammer to tap on the vice grips in a counterclockwise rotation to break them free due to them being rusted into the exhaust manifold.

[@gabelozano5891]

@@revmatchstudios is this the same method for a down pipe on 99 accord..

[@revmatchstudios]

It should be very similar.

Aren't those "studs"?

[@Cesarrivera-pj8rx]

Thanks

[@1Bigduff]

have you tried putting the stud in the freezer for a while to shrink it a little?

[@blakeetherington2155]

how many nuts are suppose to be one each stud?

[@MacAutoDiag]

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 🤦🏽‍♂️

[@cortezaz]

Why don’t you, I don’t know, just chase the threads? And then just installed them by hand until they bottom out...just saying

[@revmatchstudios]

That is a great Idea, and would work just fine, I was only working with the tools that I had available to me, and I didn't have a tap and die set.

[@JeffCoval-ry8vj]

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

[@antonjames8405]

at 1:45 he says " what I've come up with " ...as if it is your invention .!!!! the technique is called the " double nut technique ".... used by any mechanic who knows what he is doing ..!!!...anyway great video , clear pics and audio

[@ericg4915]

That's a stupid design. Those bolts should have a 6 point head to get a 8mm socket or whatever the size may be

[@North49191]

you came up with that idea?

[@revmatchstudios]

I wish, but no, my dad taught me this trick a long time ago.

[@robanderson4137]

ya but what if you don't have tools...then what smarty.

Lol, then chances are you wouldn't have broken the stud off in the first place so you wouldn't need to replace them.
