since i am not home today i ahd chucky try and remove my exhaust manifold for me so i can trade it for a stock one, he said however that a few bolts were unreachable and a couple were on so much that it turned the stud too
do these studs come out of the block? if not why are they turning? anyone have any tips to help us get this off? |

Yeah the two top and middle most studs spin when I try to take the nut off. I was able to use vice grips to get one of the nuts a little loose but the threads got messed up so I stopped.

Just remove the entire stud. You can then take them to a vice a carefully remove the nut. Then thread the stud back into the block after a quick cleaning. Make sure you thread the proper side to the block.
