Doug, do you need a new turbo manifold? I have one sitting here that doesn’t look like it’s going on as soon as I planned… or ever. Let me know… its just taking up space right now. 🙂 ---

wait, the stud is stuck in the manifold? if so, use a stud remover—looks kinda like a channel lock for studs—it wraps around the studs and connects to a 3/8 or 1/2 drive ratchet/breaker bar. that will get studs out… now if u got the stud out, and stripped it, then ur stuck drilling out and cutting new threads… ---
