Be very careful with the ez-out and use a center punch.

Ez-outs are a fucking misnomer :lol:

edit: header studs can be a bit of a bitch because they're baked in there, ya know? Might want to soak with PB Blaster before trying it (not WD)

Pc, I have a set of E-Z out bolt extractors if Drewpy needs to use them. I have a shitty cordless drill that loves to run dead on me half way thru any drilling job put the bits are new and I do have a regular drill bit we can use to get it started.

It looks like maybe the other bolt might have been loose and this one broke from holding the weight of the whole exhaust. I see you take after Drewpy with the washing skills... Its not just for vanity, you really do find a lot of potental problems on the bike like loose shit when you wash it. It just helps you keep in tune with the fucker.

But ya, No damage and I have never seen a bike truely damaged from running an open exhaust. Shit most harley's out there have no back pressure what so ever.

And as for JB weld... I love the shit but I think the heat is going to be working against you on this one.

If you need to use the garage and tools just let me know!

(and Ya I do have a garden hose also... = ) :whistle:

I'll try to find the old nut on 24 if you try to find your pride on the side of a guard rail. :lol:

You're hilarious. ya i meant get the old stud out.

Yeah get that old stud out, then get a new one. Then do yourself a favor... buy a bunch more of the nuts for your flanges... you will need to double nut the new stud for installation but then double nut the rest of your flange nuts. Will prevent you from loosing any more studs.

I have been double nutting the exhausts on the bikes I work on in my garage.... I have lost a few myself before doing this.

Take it to a machine shop.
