I also managed to shear off 3 of the studs while taking the downpipes off, has anyone got any advise about removing them? There is some stud sticking out of the engine still, im thinking of welding a nut to the top of them.
I know i know, terrible state I don't know how they got so bad, she's only on 20k and always been garaged etc, I guess this years salty roads were too much for her Thanks Dead Eye, I'll try a stud extractor first
I was stupid.....I bought the 6-13mm impact stud extractor only, and now the thread has stripped off the studs meaning the extractor won't grip and I cant find anywhere to buy the smaller one on its own!
