Replacing rear exhaust manifold studs....How hard??
My rear exhaust manifold studs need replacing. I was wondering how hard would it be to replace those and what if they need to be drilled out what would have to happen. I am getting a y-pipe and if i replace that then i want to replace the studs too instead of paying $300 for the shop to do it. Thanks

Yeah, it's tough. Best chance is to get the car on a lift, have a hoist attached to the engine to hold it up, sicne you will have to removet he rear engine mount and hardware. It'd be even easier if you remove the entire engine crossmember underneath. Then you must removet he y-pipe and rear exhaust manifold, and you should have some room to work with down there. Best to let a shop do it, if they screw it up, let them fix it!

Have bolts and head bold tool too. Have tons of gaskets and nuts and bolts and washers. Hope I can figure out where they all go.
