I have finally obtained a replacement for the (blown) gasket between the exhaust manifold and downpipe on my 1990 RRC 3.9.
Can I replace the gasket without removing great junks of the exhaust system? If not, what are the chances of the studs coming out when I undo the nuts rather than remaining in situ.
One of the studs appears to be lose already, but (how) can I encourage the other two to follow suit?
Studs miss-behaving seems to be a popular line of discussion in the NG!
TIA
