I need to replace the passenger side exhaust manifold gasket on my 99 Explorer 5.0. Two bolts have been replaced by me in the past (stock ones loosened up and fell out) so I know they will come out with no problems. The others looks to be in decent shape still. There's only one stud that looks pretty rusted and corroded that I'm afraid will break.
Any tips to minimize me pulling my hair out lol.
I bought a can of Aerokroil to soak the bolts in before I attack them. Ive read that impacts are better than a breaker bar on rusted bolts. Should I heat them up with my mapp gas torch or take the truck for a drive before I try to take them out?
