my manifold bolts came right out, reused them twice now. one stud/nut combo dont come apart, its got two nuts but one dont move. its the one holding the dip stick tube in place. make sure that one goes back in where it came out.
the two ends are nuts on a stud, just take the nuts off leave the studs in place, they hold the gasket in place for you. re use the stock gasket.
