Re: Cracked Exhaust?

Good luck; with a veh that old the studs will be pretty rusted. I'd try some solution (wd-40? Coca Cola?) to get into the studs and loosen up the nuts prior to putting a wrench on them. Invariably, that will help with some but not all of them. You could try using (not sure of the name) a device that basically breaks the side of a nut, making it much easier to remove; you'd need to buy the tool. I would definitely inspect the old manifold really good, or just think about a header, since the manifold's prone to cracking and is old anyway.

Hope this is helpful.
