Thought it would be a good day to install the ED downpipe i had ordered
heat shields were a hassle to get of but no prob
now to remove the existing downpipe
got two of the three studs out no problem
with the third the bolt came off without the stud...
does anybody have a suggestion for getting the last stud out??
any and all help is appreciated

 

You should leave the studs in - all three. Remove the three flange nuts. Remove the lower heat shield to withdraw the DP.

 

Had the same problem, (or it was not a problem) just took the DP of, same stud came of, I just installed the new DP and put the stud bak and tightened the the whole thing.

 

PB Blaster and patience. Use the macro function on your camera next time.

 

Thanks for the replys

The install went just fine...after my dumb s*it moment with the stud.
Should have just read the instruction for another downpipe install. Then i would have known not to panic

Worst part of the whole install was removing the lower heat shield. What a pain in the a**
