Great, great video! Have you had a chance to check these after a few years? My initial concern is that brass expands more and the nuts could creep loose. Otherwise, LOVE this solution!
Is that a Honda Ridgeline by chance? Trying to perform a oil pan gasket change on mine. Which requires removal of the exhaust. I used a grabber socket for eight out of nine nut. But, there is always one, and in the hardest to reach spot. I've tried everything, I'll will need to chisel it out. Excellent post, thank you for sharing.
Wish car manufacturers did this, I paid like a millions bucks for my car. All I got is cheap rusted nuts and rusted undercarriage but the radio still works great while sitting stuck in a highway somewhere 😂😂
Nissan used to use brass nuts in the pre-cat days. I never encountered exhaust nuts which were more likely to seize and then be impervious to heat. These days I either use copper nuts or a thick spacer washer and dome nuts. Brass nuts is same as stainless bolts into alloy head.
@@dustyhedger380Is stainless steel harder to remove or is it rust free if it's put on a steel bolt? Which is softer to chisel off, brass or SS once out on a steel bolt or do we not get any material mixing issues? Just asking general questions because I have broken spline bolts in three holes. The bolt head is still attached. The flange is almost free! Thought about cutting the bolt w a cut off wheel...but, replacement material is a thought, now
@@ballershanelle Stainless depending on the order can be harder , but standards are grade 5 . The advantage IS the lack of corrosion . Hope that helps .
Best clip I've seen in a long time.
I'm having a nightmare chiseling off the old nuts. My neck hurts 🤕

What tool are you using
At 0:46? That's a die which is being rotated by a pair of long nose pliers.
I used copper nuts normally used for exhaust manifolds instead.

I'm so happy I could kiss ya dude! You just saved my ass! Thank you!
Is it cold in there or are you just nervous?
Tell this to mopar
What about stainless steel nuts?
They work as well , but not as long lived as brass . Later.

Depends on the grade. I've got stainless nuts and bolts on one of the cars I have and still in good shape. Fitted in 2008.
