SteveW Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 Quickie for someone, hopefully. I managed to shear a cat to Y stud at the weekend. The stud is badly corroded, does anyone know if they are press in or screw in studs? Don't want to start hammering if it's a threaded stud. Cheers Steve Quote
firemansim Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 On mine they were bolts. All broke, so I ground the heads of and they fell out. Quote
350 Russ Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 If you can't get it out then drill it out and replace with a bolt Quote
KyleR Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 If the bolts have perished, I hope the cat and y pipe flanges aren't the same! Quote
marzman Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 If you can't get it out then drill it out and replace with a bolt This. I think you can heat them and then bank them out with a hammer, and then just replace with a standard bolt. Quote
SteveW Posted January 20, 2014 Author Posted January 20, 2014 Thanks. Yeah replacing with a bolt is the plan, I'll get some heat into it then try bashing it out before drilling. Hate drilling bolts out! Y pipe flanges are ok as stainless, will see if the Cat flanges are soon. Quote
