It had to the be studs where the HE bend is. The replacement bolt and screw is just too close to the heat exchnager pipe. It was ok when the previouse owner just had stock HE. But the SS HE are bigger and I cannot get a socket around the replacement nut.
Whats my options ? Hope and try to locate smaller nut at local Home Depot or McMaster I even thought about taking the HE to someone to heat it up and make a slight indention in it to give me more room. Am I screwed. Any thoughts. Thanks so much. Ted  |

I bought step studs recently from a Boston company 10->8 and 9->8mm also. Easiest.
