Im putting on pacesetter headers and im taking off the stock header bolts.
I got them unscrewed BUT on 8 of them the studs came out. And 2 of them the studs came in with the nut rusted to it. What should i do? Get all new studs? If so, where do i buy them? Or is there a way to get the rusted ones off (ive tried DW40)
Thanks

pb blaster, then put 2 nuts on on stud so they interlock to reinstall them on the head

If your in the Macgyver kinda mood, an old construction trick I picked up years ago, toss 'em in some Diesel fuel with a bit of trans fluid mixed with it. Let them sit in it overnight, will amaze you what comes out!

I know they are a M8X125 but not sure on length, I'll have to see if I can look that one up
