That's cool.

you still selling these?

Mine wouldn't budge so I just left them, wasn't that bad. I loosened the exhaust pretty far back so i could manipulate it IOT make the insert easier. Job is done, truck sounds much better, I must have had a massive exhaust leak because the sound of the engine is like new and the power had to...

How did you get the upper studs out so that you could replace with bolts? I've never taken them out and I don't want to goon mine up trying but I could see how it would be much easier to put back in like you did.

just busted three of the lines from the air injection manifold! dang it! that's going to cost me no less than $200. All the rusted bolts came out clean, the ones that looked fine broke like peanut brittle. The wife is not happy. Land Bruiser is going to be down for a while now, dang it.

Oh well, glad yours worked out, I'm up for the challenge and I'm sure the engine needs some work

i don't think mine will go in at all. the bolt snapped right at the line where it enters the manifold. I tried to do some research and throw some Red gasket or something like that on it. I heard it was much to hot but not sure. What do you think? The one side sealed up nice, obviously...

it leaked prior, just not as bad, so not a big deal. I'm going to pull the manifold tomorrow and change that gasket while I'm at it. I'm sure it needs it as well. Thanks for all the pointers, the experience is worth it.

Ah now I understand. I put it on with one bolt for the time being. I can see some smoke coming out the side not tightened down. I don't want to or have time to replace the manifold gasket, to lazy this weekend. I only drive the car on the weekend no more than 10 miles there and back so it...

The bolts that hold the cooler on are the two larger bolts on the side?

I can't get a drill or tap up in it

Copy thanks I'll just drill it and tap

Mine did the same broke about where the manifold starts. So you added lock washers to the good side and just left the other side without a bolt? I have the SOR gasket bought it from them the other day. I have two of the double threaded bolts, not sure what they are called.

The stud broke off as well when I did mine, did you ever get it out? My precious post was kind of confusing.

I just tried to replace mine yesterday, the nut came off but the by broke off near the gasket. Did you ever get the bolt out? I am going to try to get it with an easy out but not sure if it will work. i will just loosen the cooler and replace with one bolt if I'm unable.
