Exhaust Stud

[95 Disco]

G'day All,

May 1995 V8i Disco: As a result of the front prop shaft failing and flaying about, the exhaust pipe was hit and the joint opened up between the exhaust manifold and down-pipe. After a week of wondering how a "simple" little hit could stretch the bolt(s) I've found that the offside stud doesn't have a nut ... well that'll be the problem. The down-pipe has tilted a little allowing the V8 gurble to change to a ... doesn't bear describing.

I have searched .... can someone tell me the specification for the required nut, please.

Thanks

Mate,

... it's an M8 x 1.25

Was discussed elsewhere on here but no definitive answer; fun, but no answer :)

All is tickety-boo

Cheers,

Grant

assuming you mean the flange bolt and not the manifold to head studs nuts your looking near the limit for an m8, work on 65nm till someone gets a proper answer for you...

that (for me) is the upper end of what I can comfortabley swing on a stock length sidcrhome/kingchrome 1/2 inch drive ratchet with one hand. I can go further.

Thanks BlkNight,

Manifold to exhaust downpipe, not manifold to head. M8 was what was there, only one nut was missing.
