I may have stripped the exhaust stud that bolts the exhaust to the motor. Any suggestions or help on how to fix it would be appreciated.

 

If all you did was strip it, put some penetrating oil on it and grab some vise grips and unscrew it. The replacement stud is less than a dollar. If you broke it off, you'll probably need to us a drill and ez out to get it out. If you there's a little bit still showing, try cutting a slot iin it and use a screwdriver.

 

If your in a bind you could just use another nut with a spacer or washers to use the good threaded area of the stud.

 

When I changed mine out the last time, one of the nuts was seized on the stud. The stud came out with the nut on it, so I just found a bolt that was the same size, with a washer, and put that in there for now. I plan on fixing it later on, but it has held up fine for the time being. No leaks.

 

Thanks all. I bought some new nuts an all is good.
