Its not just having them install it. They would have to try and cut that bolt off some how. And that is where it might get pricey. I was thinking of getting a torch and rethreader. Would that just be a waist of money?

Do you guys know if the stud that connects the bolt can be replaced? I was wondering if I could just remove the whole stud, and then buy another stud and put it back in. I didnt know if the studs were hammered inor what. Or if they are a dealership only part.

Remove the K-member; you can get access to that bolt real easy doing it that way.

Ya, we might try that. I just dont see how this one freakin bolt can stay on there. We have been workin at it for 2 whole days now. Dang!

If you go to Autozone ask for a stud remover,they have them in the loan a tool program.pay a deposit and get your money back when you take it back.You can use the stud remover if you get the nut off.It's like a socket that fit's over the stud and will remove it.Best thing to do is heat the nut drive a socket on then remove.PB Blaster is the best stuff on earth to get rusty bolts and nuts off!!!!!

thats the thing. I dont think the bolt is rust on there. We have just been going at it at an angle too much and it has completely stripped out. I dont even see how to get on the bolt straight.

When I did mine I know the socket with the joint was on a angle.Could not budge with the 3/8 rachet had to break out the big gun to remove the nut.Autozone also has nutremovers made by Irwin but I think you might have tried them,kind of a backwards twisted socket that drives on to the nut.Other that cutting off the stud drilling it out witch would be a mother ****** I dont know?

Ya, we've tried just about everything. I think we are gonna have to take it to a shop now. The nut and stud are just completely destroyed pretty much. I will try and see how much it will cost for them to just get that bolt off and get a new one on. Then I will put the H pipe on myself back at the house. I just hope they wont charge out the ****. If they have to put a new stud in, then who knows how expensive that will be.
