Re: Exhaust Gasket leak and stud broke
Had the broken back driver side bolt. Did this today, remove the heat shield on the lower firewall. 3 10mm nuts, then tape a length of wire to the back of the dorman part so you can control it from above. Then you can start the top bolt. Use a swivel socket and long 3/8ths extension from below, its tough but you can get the bottom bolt that way. Red loctite the last bolt and tighten. If your gasket is intact you will have no more ticking leak. Not simple but better than pulling the manifold or head. My bolt was broken off beyond the edge of the head. Not much room to go after it. This clamp thingy works well. Hope this helps .
