specs/soruces for exhaust manifold stud

[unterhausen]

When I took the y-pipe off, one of the studs in the exhaust manifold came out with the nut. I went to a couple of autoparts stores and it's like they never hears of such a thing. So anyone have the specs for the stud? Where have people gotten them? I searched the forum, and someone posted that they have them at autozone, but the closest autozone is 30 miles -- on a road that I wouldn't want to take anything but the sho.

Why not just screw the old stud back in? I did that on my truck when the exhaust manfold to pipe stud came out with the nut frozen on. Haven't had any problems since. Is your stud bent?

You can get them from Josh here, (about 1/2 way down the page) or you can get the P/N from his page and go to your local Ford dealer. I'm surprised you can't find them at an auto parts store...

Thanks, SHOooo. I was suprised that I couldn't find one. Nobody had the spring bolts either.

www.rockauto.com had the spring bolt kit for under $6 when I bought it a few months ago.
