Caused myself a big problem

[osiras]

Hey guys, just needed an opinion. While taking the cat of my car, i managed to destroy the end thred of one of the bolts that connects the top part of the decat onto the manifold. (yes i know, i'm an idiot, and i have no idea how i managed to do it, just thought it was really stiff) Know the manifold has to come off now and the bolt replaced.
Question is, how many hours do you think this would take a specialist to do?


any help would be great

many thanks

It should be no more than an hours work.......

If more... then they are taking the biscuit!

Its easy to destroy them, they get pretty stiff with all the heat.

Honda have destroyed one of mine that I need to fix for my next MOT.

destroy in what way?

can you not put a die over it to clean it up?

An hour to replace would be plenty
