    Things can be frustrating at times creating a challenge to overcome. Getting Irate and Pissed off throwing tools does nothing to change the reality of the task. The problem is still there when you are done, if anything freaking out only makes the job worse. The thing that boils my blood most is when others have been there first and royally Facked up things before I get a go at the job. I find like Ray I end up talking to an inanimate object through out the repair process, my guess is Ray having us in You Tube land to talk to actually helps him and motivates him to get through his day.

    That stud probably came out easier than you thought because of the different rates of expansion of steel and aluminium. Ali expands at a greater rate per Degree C (Or F!) than steel for any given ammount of heat applied so the hole will grow more than the steel stud, thus relaxing its grip on the stud enabling the easier extraction... Physics!

    I was replacing the exhaust manifolds on my 12 Ram 1500 and had four bolts flush with block. Rainman Ray gave me the confidence to weld a bolt to each of them and extract those mother truckers. Mind you, I haven't welded in 35 years (stick welding) but did have a Forney 140 FC-i that I bought a year ago on sale still on the shelf in the box. I used the Rainman Ray method as demonstrated in the video and kicked ass. I did the same job years ago on my 04 Dakota 4.7 and it was a huge pain drilling out the two broken bolts and ended up having to use heliocoils and the whole thing was a major pain. So much more room on a 5.7 Ram. Keep on rocking Ray!

Approaching the job with a positive attitude, set backs overcome with a good frame of mind make you feel better all the way through. That's my opinion, anyway. Best wishes to all who face broken bolts, a nemesis of all wrench-turners everywhere. 😃

    When I was a kid, I was taught to loosen manifold nuts/studs, then re-tighten before moving on to the next one. Once they've all broken free, only then did we actually run them out. The idea was that removing one places potentially places more tension on the ones around it, making them more likely to snap off instead of breaking loose.

    Well when things get older and loosened up, sometimes you need to just give 'em the ol' reach around. Next add some extra clamping force with tools to keep them going all the way; especially when stuff pops off early in the process. Finally when you get around the exhaust pipe you just need a lot of lube and extra long tools to work them into submission.

    The welding /stud removal was spot on Ray, Even on a good day..., I can't imagine anyone attempting to drill out a stud, while trying to keep the bit centered and straight, that would be a nightmare and a recipe for disaster. Kudos to you good sir on a job well done fast, neat and efficient, I'm looking forward to part deux.

    I tell you a trick that abuse many times take a center punch hit the boat dead center then get a reverse drill bit no before that get a combination drill and center drill or a center drill you can buy a set for like 10 bucks at harbor freight then start with a small drill left hand drill and then step up to one size under your tapping drill size sometimes you're leaving up pressure on the threads that it will spin out I've done it many times it works bye

    There's one guy who offers up kits to purchase for drilling out exhaust manifold bolts for Pontiac Fieros. Includes a jig to line up all the holes, carbide bits of graduating sizes and collets to keep them straight in the jig, and taps to clean or restore them. It's a common problem with those cars and he makes a small mint off the kits.

    I put rust dissolving on the boats let it sit overnight then take a grip punch and a hammer whack it right in the middle of that'll break the rust loose in between the threads in the heads and sometimes they'll make it easier to come out and sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't they're exhaustible exhaust bolts are always a pain bad and exhaust systems are even worse hey have a good evening everybody
