Passenger exhaust manifold ?

[3.8xpress]

Those with experience with the passenger exhaust manifold, did you have to take the header studs out of the head in order to clear the manifold?

If so are these studs reuseable, that is once I take them out can I reuse them? I know I probably should get a haynes or chilton, but you guys are just as good if not better.:word:

Oh, this is on a 2002 Auto v6 mustang.

Come on I know somebody knows...:baby:

the exhaust manifold studs are re-usable if that's what you're asking (the 6 13mm ones holding the manifold to the head)


Edit: Gear wrenches are handy in getting those suckers out

Yeah, those are the one that I meant, Thanks Jday :word:

Also take note of the order they're in...some are longer than others for a reason...I learned that the hard way the first time and had to redo a few.
