well, tried to remove the nuts on the exhaust studs, tried everything, no joy, so i bought a small nut splitter, hey presto, two split nuts in no time, just clean up the threads and renew nuts. brill.
so, next time you can"t move those f*****g nuts, try a nut splitter instead!
nut splitters on e-bay, 2 different sizes for under a fiver, not bad......
sorry, cant add a link to the splitters, i havent got a clue how to do it

Re: exhaust studs
That will be a great solution for all those afraid of the sheared exhaust stud. Looks like an "if in doubt, split the nuts" option.
Post up the link to the nut splitter you used and I think this should be a sticky in the work shop section
