stran 08-28-2002, 08:09 PM Trying to fix an exhaust leak. How many studs/bolts should I plan on seeing snap when I take the manifold off my '83 fj40 (2f)? Cruzilla 08-29-2002, 01:03 PM If ya can swing it , spray down all the studs with WD40 or some other penetrating oil the nite before and let it soak! Good luck!! -Scott helocat 08-29-2002, 01:42 PM Originally posted by stran Trying to fix an exhaust leak.

I had the same with my 79' when I replaced the gaskets on the stock motor the first week I owned it. Just get to know your hardware guy real well. EZ-Out the suckers or last resort dill'em out and shoot in a Helicoil. Good luck.
