Message	Hopefully the nut is stuck on the threads of the stud.. that way you can back the whole stud out of head. Then replace with new stud and nut. If its the stud that is spinning in the head.. You will have to try and helicoil the hole.. which may not be possible with the exhaust manifold on. size=2>_________________________________________ ________________________________size=2> ~~~ Sig starts below ~~~ size=2>=============================== ================================== NO, This picture is not photoshopped. src="http://www.maximusdvd.com/mytwinturbo/images/b ikeburnzig.jpg"> MySpace for those who have em' AIM:Shawn300zxTT "-Any closeups on the nuts? - zboost(tx) 19:17:53 08/08/05 -Not really something you want to ask another man about...
