Re: Header Bolt Battle
Kroil was one of my favorite tools in the tool kit. Wasn't sure if they still made it. Thanks!

Re: Header Bolt Battle
Went to Menards and bought a $17 Angle grinder, took off the safety shield and cut the bolt head off. Exhaust manifold came right off. Will monkey with the remaining stud later.

Re: Header Bolt Battle
I would have just cut it off as well. but I used to be a machinist thats what Id do then try to get out the stud if it still wont come out and you really really want to get it out the head might have to come off unless I could get a 90 degree drill in there to drill it out and then remove the bolt. done that thousands of times back when I was in the military

Re: Header Bolt Battle
My guess is that with the tension off from the spacer it will come off with some heat and set of grips.
