O2 housing studs?

[No Mo STi]

So my exhaust keeps coming undone at the 02 to downpipe and I'm thinking that the studs are stripped. Has anyone ever tried to switch the studs out? I don';t think it would be all that difficult of a a process. thanks in advance.

No, this is not a hard process at all. The replacement stud part # from mitsu is MD089315. You may have to apply a little heat to the old ones to get them to loosen but be careful as this may expand the threads for good with too much. Good luck.

Good place to get the studs and bolt from.

neither of these are the correct ones. It says you only need one of the studs. my downpipe has a two sided flange. Would I just order two or is that not the right part?

Disregard what I said. I misunderstood and thought it was the o2 housing bolts that you needed not the two connecting the downpipe to the o2 housing.

ok...tnx anyways. I think I'm gonna go ahead and take it on. Is there any special trick to getting the back bolt on the O2 housing off? i think i'm gonna need a bent ratchet arm thingy

The part # I gave is for the studs you need. Hope you get it worked out.
