Turbo Elbow Studs

[dazjb]

Has anybody replaced the studs in the turbo elbow that go through the downpipe?

I've got two turbo elbows now with knackered threads and would like to try and remove the studs and fit new ones if possible. Think hammering in some splined wheel studs would do the trick

Yes did it couple weeks back, one snapped, drill them out and fitted new stud ordered from amayama, pita job but can't see any other option, good thing I managed to save old thread in dump pipe.

Thanks for the reply. I don't mind drilling it out and fitting new studs to make as good elbow

Do you have the part number that you ordered?

Fully agree, it's not pleasant, one thing what I learn is to use expensive new, in my case dewalt, drill bits, with them it wasn't as bad as when I attempted this with cheap **** ones.
