Re: Exhaust Gasket leak and stud broke
 

99% of my tools are bought from the Snap On or Mac truck when they come to my shop... Once in a while if it?s a tool that I?ll only use once or twice, I?ll go to like a Northern Tool if you have one.

Or do a search...

Although I already took mine out, I purchased one stud remover from ebay, in case I need it in the future:

I already have a seller who is going to send me exhaust gaskets at a good price. The gaskets is all I need, or do I need some kind of sealant or something like that to put on the gasket prior to putting them in place?

Re: Exhaust Gasket leak and stud broke
 

Depending on the brand you use, will determine whether you use sealant or not.

The copper ones, the ones with the built in rings, blah, blah, blah don't use gaskets. The old style (which I prefer) are made out of a paper/cotton sort of soft material and generally are able to be doubled up if necc and/or add sealant.

Dorman makes clamps that allow a fix without manifold removal. Good quick fix , and cheap. google dorman part 917-107.

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 .
