How can the studs be in the way? Are the pipes still connected to the
elbow? Tap the pipes and pull tem off the studs.

Subject: Exhaust Manifold Removal

I got one lonely reply to my exhaust removal
question from the other day:  I have the nuts
off, but the studs on the heads are in the
way so I can't get the exhaust manifolds off.

The reply I have so far is to heat up the studs
again & turn them off with a vise grip.

Does anyone have any other suggestions besides
pulling the studs?

Thanks!
