Helped my neighbor fix an exhaust leak on his Ford with a 300 I6 last weekend. Snapped off both studs in the flange, but had a bit sticking out on both of them. We had to heat both of them to get them out. Once they had been heated dull red with oxy/acetylene and allowed to cool, we could turn them out with vice-grips. Putting on the repair flange was a bit trickier--the exhaust pipe is 2", and the only 2" flanges the parts store had were too narrow to fit the bolt span of the flange. The 2 1/4" flanges they had fit the bolt span fine but of course were too loose on the pipe. Ended up having to weld the 2" flanges to the 2 1/4" flanges then bolt the whole mess back into place. It's holding fine so far, but what should have been an hour job took most of the day--in other words, business as usual...
