I was trying to take my dp bolts off the studs. I tried pb blaster and let it sit for 5min or so. I go and try to break the nut free and the whole stud wants to come with it.

Last time i did this i stripped my studs.

what can i do.

thanks
mike

 

buy new studs and nuts, let the old ones come out but work them back and forth with the pb blaster..

 

you mean buy new ones that like that are in it. i cant get them at a dealer. they said i have to buy the whole turbo mani for those for studs

 

hmm this may be handy to know as I'm going to install mine friday :S

 

Take em out, here is my story. Had to take my downpipe off because the flex pipe went. 1 nut came off the stud. 1 stud came off with the nut. 1 stud broke in half. Went to the dealer and got a new stud and nut. Had to get a new nut and stud for the one but used the other two again.

Part number
Nut- 11517996 = $6.66
Stud- 10160364 = $4.46

 

hell yes part numbers! thanks! Maybe I should have 1 of each or 2 just incase.

 

No prob, find out how many your local dealer has then go from there. I only bought one and they had an extra if I needed it. They are quite pricy. Also not sure if they are the same on the LSJ or LNF, should be but double check.

 

i hear of some ppl being able to break the nut loose of the stud. i guess that is the better way. but it is just the whole thing that comes out for me.

thanks for that. when i went they said that they couldnt get them. i am going to use that part number on gmpartdirect.com and see how much they are on there.

has anyone found a how to on this. i just did without. just always like to see how everyone else does it.

the stud is 4.09
the nut is 2.64 on gmpartsdirect.com

 

i used a hardware store stud for mine, just took the old one in and walked out with 4 of them for about 5$

 

yeah i got them from the dealer so they were marked up.
