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  |

QUOTE(Dave_Darling @ Jul 22 2011, 08:45 PM)  He's just saying that the nut takes a 12mm wrench instead of 13mm. That's the ISO standard for M8 fasteners that most Japanese cars use, BTW. A bolt is probably not a good idea. The length would be very critical, and it'll be tough to start I think. Get a step stud that's the right size on the one end and regular M8 on the other end. Available from lots of VW places. Or get the 911 exhaust nuts as HAM suggested. The Allen wrench doesn't need external clearance. --DD The nut head is 14mm. So I dont think the 911 exhaust would work, unless 911 nuts are 14mm also. I am worried about removing the stud for step studs and screw the threads even more. Ahh the joys of old cars. I guess I can try turning a socket down and pray it will work. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) |

What we need to know to help you is _what size is the stud_ ? You have a nut that fits the stud, yes? What size and pitch bolt fits that? This:  is a 911 exhaust port nut. I think you were missing the essential point that it is an _internal wrenching_ nut. You might have to run a washer or two under because you only get just so much travel before the end of the stud pokes into where the Allen wrench goes. But something like this would be the hot setup... If the stud is 10mm, you can use a 911 cylinder head barrel nut. Same principle, in 10mm Subarus use 10mm exhaust studs and use a nice flanged nut with 12mm flats. |
