spot on, its a m6 coupling nut ground down to about 15mm. I had to thread the remaining stud right up to the engine. Apart from that its dead simple and no one will notice. I would'nt risk trying to remove the stud if:
a) i was'nt sure of my abilities.
b) i did'nt have the correct tools or
c) simply removing the engine was an expensive alternative.
Its only one stud and no 3 so you wont even see it. the exhaust bolts are only done up very lightly so it will hold all your exhaust gases in no bother.
