Re: [Chevelle-list] Exhaust Manifold Bolt Removal
I've had good luck with the Irwin sockets that are intended for removing nuts and blots with rounded heads. Comes in a little carrying case that is blue and a GREAT tool to keep in your toolbox. It looks like a socket, but the inside of it is kinda like a spiral which bites on the head of the nut/bolt. They work great. It's kinda like an eazy-out, but for a socket. No drilling is required, just slip it on like a socket and start turning. http://www.irwin.com/irwin/consumer/jhtml/browse.jhtml?catId=IrwinCat100313 Good luck, Kyle - Original Message - From: Rob Shaffer To: The Chevelle Mailing List Sent: Tuesday, February 07, 2006 1:15 PM Subject: [Chevelle-list] Exhaust Manifold Bolt Removal I have a question for the list that is not specifically Chevelle related, but is chevy related nonetheless. I'm removing the exhaust manifolds from a 1995 Chevy 454 engine to install headers. The passenger side manifold bolts came out with the help of an impact wrench. On the driver side, I've got all but three bolts loose. I stopped when one of the tough bolts started to round out. Now I need to remove the bolt, but cannot get a grip with a socket.

Re: [Chevelle-list] Exhaust Manifold Bolt Removal
Rob, I bought a set of those "sockets" from Sears that are made to bite into the head as you try to loosen the bolt. It worked great. It works better if you can use some sort of penetration oil like PB Blaster, and let it soak for a while, or if you can heat the area first with a torch. Careful - and good luck.

Re: [Chevelle-list] Exhaust Manifold Bolt Removal
Rob,A trick I use for tough rounded bolts is I set a larger nut on top of the bolt and weld it to it. The larger the better as long as you have clearance. I would use a 1/2" nut on the 3/8" exhaust bolts. Then carefully impact it out while it is still hot from the weld.

Re: [Chevelle-list] Exhaust Manifold Bolt Removal
Thanks for all the help. I think I'll try the socket and if that doesn't do the trick, then use Mike's advice and weld a nut on top of the bolt. I did have them soaking with PB Blaster before I tried to remove them. However, based on the bolts that I did remove, it does not look like any of the penetrating oil actually migrated up the thread bolts. I might try heating the areas with a torch. When heating, shold the bolt be heated or the surrounding manifold area? Thanks. Rob

Help! I lost the link that you could go to that would show your car and you could change tires-wheels and the color of the car. Does anyone have that link or know where I can find it? Larry (Z)
