Hi, snapped off a manifold stud left about half inch proud. Think I can get it out, but before I start I wondered if anyone could tell me what the dimensions are of a replacement stud. May try ebay but dont know what I'm looking for. Help would be appreciated. thanks

If you are by chance installing the exhaust with new gaskets.....you cannot compress them all at once without risking exactly what happened.  Those nuts are tightened to like 9 ft lbs.....thats not much

I have yet to use a torque wrench on those exhaust nuts. Just use my 10mm box end to get at the inside ones, snug them up good is all then check them every 100 miles or so for the next few weeks. No broken studs and no leaks.

I thought it was 7?

Sorry, I almost typed 7 my bad.  Doesnt really matter, this is one of those instances where using a torque wrench is worse than just feeling that its snug.  I dont have a torque wrench that I would trust at that low a reading.....and also I have never broken a bolt on a motorcycle when NOT using a torque wrench....lol

I've broken a couple exhaust studs, but not from over tightening. First time I swapped out exhaust, some of the nuts were rusted to the studs. I broke two studs that day. Now I use Anti-Seize on my exhaust studs. I'll check em for tightness a few times after I ride it. Works for me.  cooldude
