That’s interesting. I’ve heard on several YouTube videos that an impact is more effective than a breaker bar on these studs (less chance of breaking them).

Goddamn! Did you use an impact to try to remove the hardware or a breaker bar before the stud snapped?

I’m using the motive products power bleeder too. Thanks for the videos! I’m guessing it’s pretty much the same process for the clutch slave cylinder on an 11th gen si?

😭 which penetrating fluid did you use and how long did it soak? I’m hoping for the best at this point

I planned on changing my brake fluid. This is my 1st manual car and I just heard about bleeding the clutch slave master cylinder. How do I go about doing this on our car? There is no separate reservoir for the clutch as it shares it with the brake fluid reservoir, correct? Thanks for any help!

How do I remove downpipe to turbo studs and install new titanium ones? Just use the double nut method with 10mm nuts? Also should I change out the downpipe to turbo gasket when installing a new downpipe? Car has 25,000 miles.

Im changing out my downpipe so I figured it’d be the best time to drain the block while it’s out. May not ever do it again after the downpipe is installed tho

Does anyone have a diagram or correct sizing & part number for the washers we need to replace when doing a trans & coolant drain and refill? I went to the dealership and they gave me a 10mm washer (part # 90471-PW7-A00) for the trans plug. I rushed out of there without double checking if it was...
