🔧 Assenmacher Specialty Tools 201 Metric Stud Remover/Installer Set - 4 Piece: Efficient and Reliable Automotive Repair Equipment Review

Worked exactly as planned. Removing a stuck exhaust bolt turned into a dramatic event. Would buy again. There is also a version with an 8mm head for BMW vehicles.

Ideally, the appropriate torque required to install the exhaust bolt is such that the stem or unthreaded area of the exhaust bolt, in my case, is just snug on the cylinder head. The exhaust nut then does the rest of the exhaust bolt…
