hey guys i need to replace my front manifold studs, so i am wondering what is the thread and bolt size or w/e for the EZ Out. Basically what do i need to know when buying an EZ out. Thanks.

 

Don't quote me on this, but 5/32 comes to mind.

 

alright, il see if i can get a couple sizes around that, thanks. By the way what size are the studs anyway?

 

Pretty sure they are 6mm on the inside. When I got my new studs, I took them to the hardware store and matched sizes until I found the right nuts.

I think #3 Black & Decker is what I used, and the recommended bit size is on the package.

 

Here you go son, you wouldn't have to ask this question if you actually spent the $1.80 that they cost at the dealer. These wont get the old ones out but you'll get an idea of the size once you have em

 

who you calling son?

alright john i planned on buying from dealer but i just wanted to know the EZ out size because my step dad can get it from work but hes gotta know the size so he can get that size while other ppl arent using them. So i need 6 studs, 6 bolts and like 6 washers? plus the manifold gasket? that it?

 

You have a step dad?

Yes get 6 studs, 6 nuts, I dont remember if there's washers I'm almost positive there arent any there. And yes get the gasket as it would defeat the purpose to not get one.

I belive the size was 8 x 1.25 but I'm not positive, almost sure, I got my old studs under my desk in case you wanna find out by taking em to hardware store.

 

6 nuts 14039-W1500
6 washers 14037-F6610
6 yokes 14037-97E00

 

there we go, the perfect short answer. Thank you.

 

is there a very temporary fix to the manifold leak? i want to seal it for a short period of time to determine if there are any other leaks that noises might come from, such as the other manifold....

 

Why arent any of those part numbers matching my ?

 

size is correct.

the yokes are basically superthick washers. They are necessary.

 

Thanks for the confirmation sir, as for these Yokes you mention...I dont think I got those

Guess because none of the part numbers are for the studs??

 

All they do, as far as I can tell, Is make your job faster. they space out the nut so you don't have to tighten it down as far, just enough to get all threads engaged (plus a couple mm extra). Otherwise you'd be tightening them all week.

problem is, my studs didn't come out... so i will have to try it again sometime when I don't live here anymore. maybe if I get a week off I'll run up to Rednecksville/MiddleOfNowhere TN and visit Greeny. Sorry guys but no way in hell I'm driving to chicago.

 

You were gonna come up to Chicago?

 

well i know there's a lot of 3rd genners up there. But if I need something done that is 3rd gen specific that I don't want a general mechanic messing with... and if that thing is out of my range as well, I'd either go to Greeny or Aaron. But Greeny has a VG as well so he knows more about them than Aaron does, most likely.

but no, I have, and never have had, plans of going to chicago

 

theres lots of 3rd genners in chicago?

 

well there's a lot more there than in Raleigh! As far as I know, I'm the only 3rd gen org member in my city. I may be wrong..
