Stripped cat/header bolt, help!
Hey all,
I was fitting some new HFC, (old ones installed by a mechanic so demon bolt was not going to be an issue) and the stud from the manifold side has been partially stripped (I'm guessing by the mechanic). Because of this I can't get a good seal and my lovely G sounds like a tractor thanks to the exhaust leak. I'm thinking a tap and die set could be used to re-thread the boot, but there isn't a huge amount of room to manouver, any other ideas of how to solve this problem?
Huge thanks in advance.
