| Suggestions for removing the manifold? Looks like one of those stuck bolts challenges. I believe i will just replace rather than try to weld up the cast iron. Ideas? this is an '88 Ski Nautique. Exhause manifold leaking from bottom |

Arther, You may need to get to the bolt heads with a Dremel and a cut off wheel. Then go after whats left with a stud wrench or the crude way a "vise grip" .

A 50/50 mix of acetone and tranny fluid has proven to soak in to rusted bolts and help break them loose. I have used a propane torch to heat the area around the bolt and then apply more of the mix. Works best if you have a few days and can re apply a few times. It helps a lot. Mark ------------- |
