Re: Removing Exhaust a Stud
Hmm a job I think I may need to tackle soon . Out of interest, does anyone know the thread size of the stud so I could replace them with bolts?

Re: Removing Exhaust a Stud
Good morning all.
8 x 1.25 mm is the thread size I think. I did that from memory so don't quote me on it! Cheers. |

Re: Removing Exhaust a Stud
More chance of damaging the threads with bolts than studs

Re: Removing Exhaust a Stud
While tightening down the exhaust puts pressure on the steel threads with the studs.... With bolts you are pulling on the aluminum threads of the head. And that continues with each periodic tightning...or worse.... The high heat often causes the stud to seize in the block. So if you're using a bolt and try to tighten or remove it...guess what...you've got another problem. Studs are pretty much the standard for securing exhaust manifolds to nearly every internal combustion engine made. (for a reason) Replace with a new stud and use never-seize on the threads. |

Re: Removing Exhaust a Stud
And use brass nuts preferably deep enough to cover stud & reduce corrosion and Copperslip the steel nuts seem designed to rot!
Best of luck Last edited by punyXpress; 28-02-08 at 01:16 PM. |

Re: Removing Exhaust a Stud
Seems that the original Suzuki parts are allen bolts though (at least for the K3) , not studs as you would expect.

Re: Removing Exhaust a Stud
If you were going to take off the exhaust nuts for the first time, what would you do to give you the best chance of getting them off without any of the aforementioned mishaps?

The fasterners for the rear cylinder exhaust brakcet can be pretty tricky to get to, but that can also mean that the previous fitter may not have done them up too tight....if you're lucky. Above all be patient and dont be tempted to get the hacksaw out ....not yet at least. |

Re: Removing Exhaust a Stud
Depends on the mileage of the bike and how many winters it had been through, mine had done 4 winters and 33k. One stud nut had a 11mm socket hammered on to it, is its 12mm shape had rotted away. The other one as you know had to be cut off, though next time I will use a nut splitter.
