S5 snapped header flange stud

tweiss3 · 05-02-2011, 06:44 PM

Just like the title says, one of the studs in the header flange between the downpipe and header, naturally aspirated.

How do i remove it? Is it pushed out, threaded? Do i drill it out? I tried getting a monkey wrench on it but didnt have much room.

Help!?!

or if you can put a nut on it weld it and thread it off

or slot the stud and take one of those impact sockets with a flat head bit

PB blaster, and a 10mm stud extractor and it came right out, with some heavy coaxing, but clean out. Now she is all quiet. Didn't get to enjoy it much cause of the damn driveshaft letting loose though.
