My passenger side rear 2 studs have sheared.... I need a fix but not a bandaid. I would like to re use my stock manifold or maybe buy a new manifold just wasn’t looking to throw headers at it
IF there is not much exposed of the broken stud a good method is to take a nut and weld it to the broken stud. This does 2 things. It gets the stud hot and give you a mechanical bond. Sometimes the weld breaks; just try it again. Usually this will work. If you don't have a welder you can get can do this with a $120 flux core wire welder. Watch some YouTUBE videos to get the methods down.
Would still be cheaper than taking it to a shop.
