Stripped exhaust manifold stud

[VNMUS03]

I need suggestions. It's the passenger side stud that stripped a bit. Every time I put the bolt on it goes on sideways. I can see a shine to where its stripped. Idk what to do at this point. I think I need new bolts too because it stripped the ones i tried on. Are they special nuts or anything will do?

You can get replacement studs from Napa.

I'd try a google search or if there is a NAPA close walk in and talk to them. The store I stopped in was in a tiny town of about 3000 people, they have the worst selection and inventory of any parts house I've ever been in. I told the guy what I was wanting and he went over to the wall and pulled off a package of the Napa version of the "help" brand studs and gave them to me. If this store had them any store should have them lol. I replaced the ones of the drivers side to get rid of the shouldered bolts that come stock.

Retap the threads in the manifold and use a new stud to replace the bolts. That should work unless it's stripped very bad and in that case you would need to drill it larger and retap. Good luck

one came off the manifold with the nut stick on it and the other one is stripped on the thread here

I'm thinking of buying a new stud for the one that's stuck and maybe using the re thread kit they rent at autozone to retread the stud. Idk how to use it tho.

Last resort is bolting what I can or what's left that's actually good and taking it to a shop.

If anyone can find a place where to get them let me know. Napa, smith, and ford doesn't have them. Ford told me they are discontinued so I'm shit out of luck

They didn't have them? or they aren't smart enough to find them?

A 30 second google search pulled up the part number Napa #600-1819

those are for the drivers side manifold

edit: maybe you are just showing these for reference. but as mentioned these types of studs are usually carried by most auto parts stores. good luck with it

I bought a pair that are a ford part. The cobra ones would have cost like 30.00 for the pair and were available. These were much cheaper.

Trust me they work. Slightly shorter threaded end for the nut but perfect otherwise.
I think they were for rangers and explorers.

Hey thanks a lot. Yeah hey we're ridiculously priced but discontinued. I actually ended up cutting the bolt and re threading it. It turned out long enough. As for the passenger I used the rethread kit and it worked. This was seriously a pain in the ass. I'm going to buy the ones you mentioned and keep them just incase something like this happens again.
