Pulled the exhaust on the 97.  Here is the result:



Five of the studs came out instead of the nut coming off.  The sixth stud broke off .  Ugly, but done.

That's why I love Never Seize.
I may not be big, but I'm slow.

Did you have any issues taking them out?. Mine are in a bad way, but I am reluctant to attempt them, as I have seen lots of heads with fractured casting where the bolts were... Is the engine in the frame, or on bench?. Regards Phil

I was not trying to remove the studs.  The nuts were so badly seized that the studs screwed out rather than the nut.  One stud of six broke.
