    Exhaust headers; Threaded studs

    Hi all,

    I removed the entire exhaust system end of August.

    As of now I have cleaned the entire engine, I fiinished painting the Valley of Deathe and the Cylinder Heads, the inside. I will do the outside.

    When I removed the exhaust headers, there were threaded studs with nuts holding the exhaust headers. Some came off, some didn't. What is the best way to take them out. They are threaded studs, not bolts. I tried pliers, vice grip, but not good enough.

    While googling this tool, I came across a youtube video:

    This was very helpful, and most of all VERY EASY to do!!!

    I had 5 on each side, total 10 to remove. Took some time, but was easy!!!
