Finally fitting the Akrapovic headers. I have seen stories of the the header bolts snapping but is there any issues with the header nuts seizing themselves?
To be honest I'd replace both after my experience when I changed mine over! I had a bolt snap and was a bitch to sort I used a stud extractor to pull out the rest and replaced with titanium and used ceramic grease to lube the studs into the head
Thanks mate, yes exactly my concerns, I have titanium studs and nuts to fit. Did it snap when undoing the nut?
Well it never quite went according to plan. 6 nuts loosened without an issue. Two came out attaching to the stud! New exhaust is on but will need some alignment.
I recently had the same issue! One of the nuts was firmly attached to the stud and pulled the stud out. I bought a replacement and a few spares (nuts & studs). What torque should be used for the studs? The nut torque is spec'd in the manual but not the stud.
I ended up using a slitting wheel on a dremel and splitting the nuts down their length and chiselling them apart, what an absolute PITA. Couple can out with the stubs attached, so replaced them with 8mm threaded rod.
