Damaged Exhaust Manifold Stud
So last fall I installed the TOMEI UEL headers and all has been great with them. Tonight, however I was changing my oil and investigating what looks like a minor oil leak. I also noticed one of my header nuts was loose (attaching to the block) and so I decided to tighten it down. Well it spun and spun and finally I realized the stud thread is damaged and stripped! I think it happened as I pulled the stock headers off originally and they scraped against the threads.
Curious if anyone knows how difficult it is to remove a stud from a block or if they recommend going to a shop.
