Hi Peter,

I now also have a broken stud on the patrol (99 4.5 petrol). Last stud closest to the firewall.

I need to prepare to take it out and replace the stud. Searching the forum brought me your challenge of 2012.

Did you ever manage to remove it?

What did you do?

What shouldn't I even try?

Do I need a new gasket from the stealers first, or is the old one normally salvageable?

Any suggestions welcome...not really looking forward to this small job with the potential to become a huge job...

Steve, the owner took it to an exhaust shop and they managed to remove it quite easily, but I don't know exactly how. I am under the impression it broke at the nut, rather than at the face of the head and could be gripped with vice grips, but I am not sure.
It was exactly the same stud as you are battling with.

I believe you will need a new gasket, particulalrly if it has been running like that for any length of time, but in this case the exhaust shop actually had a gasket that fitted.
