Broken exhaust manifold bolt.....
Hey all,
Need help here. I all ready did a search on this issue and found a few helpful ideas as to what bolts to get (can someone reply here with the correct bolts from ACE hardware again? Thanks!!). However, not much info on how to replace the driver's side rear bolt which is the culprit in my annoying exhaust leak which is also embarrassing when i stomp on the gas pedal at a light to show off my Magnaflow muffler sound. Also noticed poor gas mileage and sluggish performance ever since the bolt broke off. Do i need to replace the gasket or just the rear bolt? How bad is it to replace the bolt? Will i be leaving a few layers of skin behind given the tight confines for access? Do we really need the heat shield? Thanks all for your help!!
