Replacing the Exhaust Donuts for your car or truck!

[@RemmikRotus]

Thanks for the concise video. It’s been decades since I replaced a donut gasket and just wanted to see what I was getting into on my friends 2001 Expedition. It took my 4 tries with other videos that either tried to hard to be “entertaining” or were so off topic most of the video, I could not get through any of them to even get a brief overview.

[@TheDadBodWorkshop]

I'm glad you found it helpful! Good luck with your projects!

[@EarthtonesCymbals]

I understand exactly what you are saying. Cheers!

[@leefinstad4272]

Thank you so much for putting videos like this up, saved me from putting a lot of coins in the swear jar!

[@TheDadBodWorkshop]

Thanks for the kind reply. So glad this was helpful!

[@richardburdette4730]

Ratchet strap is a great idea that I never thought to do even once lol

[@TheDadBodWorkshop]

Thank you! Good luck with your projects!

[@mariarappana]

Thanks! Just the video I was looking for!

[@dustinbingman382]

Is the driver side (thinner one) directional?

[@EarthtonesCymbals]

Well done. Best wishes to you. I am replacing a flange gasket on a Nissan. It has the spring bolts.

[@markellrobinson4447]

Great video helps a lot

[@joshuazirkle4616]

Thanks first time I learned about it even having gaskets. I'm replacing the flange gasket on my 05 f150 4.6 xl . I didn't know which way it goes because the stock cats didn't have any to begin with. Thanks a bunch

Is this on a 2015-2019 gmc Sierra 2500hd 6.0? @TheDadBodWorkshop

[@Gunny426HemiPlymouth]

The moment the first exhaust bolts came out. I by muscle memory said FK you.... And I apologize. I'm from the salt belt. 🤣 Thanks for the help

[@i_am_wi11_]

Good and straight forward

[@TheDadBodWorkshop]

Thank you!

[@johnsmith-qm1mr]

Did you take the front wheels off for more access?

[@TheDadBodWorkshop]

I did not. I had plenty of access all from the underneath

[@jameshernandez5300]

What are the sizes?

[@travisroush2191]

Where do I buy these, just any part store?

[@TheDadBodWorkshop]

I try to buy most my parts from RockAuto if I have time to wait for them in the mail. Otherwise, I go to a local auto parts store or even Amazon if needed. Thanks for watching!

[@eltonyancey6426]

Great video. thanks a bunch.

[@TimJackson-x2n]

Thanks for this information.

[@markrodgers1965]

If it leaks after a new gasket, what could be the issue ?

[@TheDadBodWorkshop]

It's likely leaking at the manifold then. Either that or you have a small hole somewhere in the piping. Thanks for watching!

[@ryanrobbins1469]

Take a shopvak and blow air in to your tail pipe and spray soapy water on your exhaust

[@TheDadBodWorkshop]

@@ryanrobbins1469 That's a great suggestions. I may try this in the future, thanks!

[@michaelburtin3457]

Did you smell exhaust fumes wen heat on or car running

[@colyntenny3592]

I have a 1994 Chevy Silverado and wanted to know will I need 2 different gaskets to change both like in the video or will 1 size fit both sides?

[@TheDadBodWorkshop]

I believe you will also need two different sizes. Thanks for watching!

[@obs_vell439]

Sure you probably changed it by now but they are the same. I have 88.

[@MonsterNinjaz]

Doing this exact same job right now and used the exact same pick to get the ring out 😂😂

[@TheDadBodWorkshop]

Then you and I are both value shoppers! Thanks for supporting the channel!

[@aubreyholmes1235]

Nicely done

[@thereaper2762]

Great vid! All I've been able to find is complete manifold swaps but I think the little donut seal is my real issue. Just wanted to know how much wiggle room I'd have or if I needed to keep going down the pipe unbolting everything. Would you or anyone recommend any type of paste or gasket material to help seal up and prevent failures?

[@ksfarms6235]

Thanks for the video

[@gcode3653]

Thank you

[@w.c.6678]

Good vid bro.

[@dottlenoodle9052]

Mine don't come off I tried 3 different guns😭

[@rasmadrak]

I had to tiger saw off a few of my bolts... If you have a torch, that might help to break them loose.

[@wally7856]

MAP gas torch. Get the torch with the hose so you can maneuver it better. Heat the nut until it glows red, it'll take a couple minutes then quickly get your impact or a breaker bar on there. Use a 6 sided impact rated deep socket so you don't strip the threads. It'll come off once you get it glowing a dull red with the torch.

[@BiteTheCurbNow]

Thx

[@kevinconnor6921]

Neversieze the threads

[@kevinconnor6921]

Look like nuts
