Im trying to remove the y pipe from my bros truck. I cant get to the driver side top nut on the collector stud. Ive tried wobble extensions, ujoints, and used a 3/4 imapct. The F'n thing wont come off and now its stripped. Im going to have to cut it off to get the manifold off. Does gm sell just this stud? I know it takes a 15mm socket on the bottom. Once I cut it off, Im going to take it to work and heat it with a torch and get the cut stud out of the manifold.

thanks a bunch

Should be just a regular stud at any parts store. Just match the thread pitch going into the manifold.

you would think so but I remember back in the day when I had my TA and it had the same setup as the truck...I could not find any studs at any of the parts stores. I think because it was metric. I also "thought" at the time GM did not sell just that stud...but thats been 5 or 6 years ago so I dont quite remember.

I can't check for part numbers from home but yes it should be available seperately. PM me on monday if you have trouble finding one at the parts dept.

The most common exhaust flange stud is part # 11589264. That will be the correct number for about 98% of the vehicles disussed on this forum.

well, I called and ordered all my stuff through scoggin dickey, however they told me that stud is not sold and only comes in a new manifold. I looked up one of my old threads on tech and found the part number for my trans Am and it was 10220453, it looked to be the same stud but I dont know. Since they already (hopefully) have shipped my order, Ill call the local dealer and see if I can get the part number you posted by thursday. If not, Ill swing by one of the nut and bolt shops here in town and get a grade 8 metric allthread in 10mmx1.5 and weld a nut on the top side and make my own damn stud. :nunchuk1: Thanks for the part number
