Richie, that rear top stud that’s hard to get to. I couldn’t impact it off. So I cut it. But I see that it is a different stud than all the others. In using the aftermarket bolts you would have had to remove it My question is. Is it welded in there or how did you remove it? Then if it’s threaded, was there any problem putting the aftermarket bolt through the exhaust manifold?
If it’s flat headed on the other side heat it up glowing and punch it through, if it’s threaded drill it out start smaller slow drill big work it bigger get some new drill bits
@@richierock1300 its so hard to find trustworthy mechanic specialy when you dont know noone while back i was misled to which one is bank one they told me it was the one by radiator so i changed that o2 sensor and nothing happend same code keeps poping up but now i know thanks to you i know exactly which one to replace. I replaced the back one long time ago but code still remained so figured it wasnt the cat itself so i returned it and put old one back i figured changing sensors is cheaper than cat so ill start there and leave cat as last resort
That silence after comparing the two parts was so loud 😂 glad to know the crappy aftermarket one I got will fit. Great video thank you
Nice work and great video 🔥🔥🔥
Oh god, which one is the bank1 now, was it the one in the middle or the one right under the hood? I need to replace it tomorrow asap
Close to firewall
Good video

That is where I’m at now after trying heat and impact stud extractor. I don’t think I have any choice but to drill it out
If you can get it out put what you can back in
@@richierock1300 thanks for the help, I finally got it, after trying everything, I went to the old pipe wrench and got it to turn
Good deal
U replaced back and front so which one is bank 1 both cant be bank 1
Replaced only the back one would be bank 1

Yes that is very confusing thing especially when your used to the older gm engines
