I'm replacing a cracked TO-30 manifold. Any tips on getting the old one off and the new one on without striping or breaking the engine bolts would be greatly appreciated.

I agree with using the PB Blaster. That stuff is without a doubt the best I've ever used. But as with all rust-buster efforts - patients is an important ingredient.

Guys above have some good comments. Also consider putting an anti-seize compound on your fasteners when you re-assemble. There are many types available. Could save you some problems down the road if you ever need to take it apart again. Best of luck.

Although you can spray break free, Wd 40 and the such on the nuts to prep them to come off, the most important thing is Paitience. Take your time and do not rush. If something dosen't want to move, spray it again and leave it until tomorrow.

You are talking about something that may have been torqued in place for close to 50 years. Take your time.

Thanks Joe

I just pulled mine to replace a leaking gasket. I had to buy a 9/16 wrench (a cheapie) and grind the box end walls down to about 1/16 thickness to get on to the two top center nuts. Once I had it off I filed the intake inlets about 1/32 to allow me to get a regular box end on it to get a little better torque on them, I think they were being held in place by just rust before and weren't very tight.

Soak the stud threads with PB Blaster a couple times a day for a couple days. Then when you go to remove the nuts the rust on the threads will be loosened up.

I did my TO-20 like this and all went well.

Good luck. Tom K.
