StanMan Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Easy job if the AC is removed, if not.....Good luck. Just be careful with the studs as you do not want to break one off in the head. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Starlet__SR Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 I stripped mine off bit by bit just for better access. Gave each nut a little warm up so nothing snapped. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Just be careful with the studs as you do not want to break one off in the head. AC is removed so that is not an issue! will take it easy with studs if one came off that would be a nightmare! I stripped mine off bit by bit just for better access. Gave each nut a little warm up so nothing snapped. what did you warm them with a blow torch? or let it run a little before you took off the mani? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Starlet__SR Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Just used a brazing torch with a narrow tip so the heat was focused Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StanMan Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Just used a brazing torch with a narrow tip so the heat was focused Nice and subtle. Good idea at first; normally that works a treat. I have not long took the CT9 manifold off to have it welded and new gasket (the usual mild steel crack), tried that approach with the good old Snap-On soldering iron attachment, got the map gas on it and it did the trick in half the time due to the heat transfer.

Starlet__SR Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 It's great just for flash heating. I've also got a little handheld induction heater but access is needed lol. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wakeabby14 Posted January 30, 2017 Author Share Posted January 30, 2017 Try with lots of thread penetrating oil first and let it soak in as best you can for 10 min intervals due to the angle of the studs, spray on the top of the threads and give it a turn with a cranked ring spanner (cranked ring and stubby spanners are a must imo so that you don't round off the nut). If that does not work use MAPP gas (2010 °C) but be very careful, it's very, very hot for thermal shock, after using this stuff, propane (1967 °C) is a waste of time. If using anything flammable make sure that there is no petrol fumes or oil on the block to state the obvious lol. Also when you put it back together use a decent high temp anti-seize on the studs to save yourself a hell of a lot of ballache in the future. by the way what manifold are you putting on? Just used a brazing torch with a narrow tip so the heat was focused Thanks for the input guys great help! will bear it in mind will crack on with it this saturday! josh Quote Link to post Share on other sites

patman Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Your probably find that your be changing the manifold again before the end of the year mate with those toyosports ones, I had 2 new ones before and only lasted a couple of months each 👍🏻 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Starlet__SR Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 I'm sure someone on here had a m/s WEPR kit for cheap. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
