1st I’m saving up to upgrade my exhaust.
The flipping flange to the muffler, half of one bolt broke/snapped off, yup rust. The other half looks to be stuck to the other flange.
Are they welded in place or do I just need a BFH n Carlins 15 min of words you cannot say on tv?
Just want it to hold up for another 2 months

Re: Muffler flange
You need to get ahold of an oxy/acetylene torch and heat the head of the bolt until it is red and then quench with water. If it does not turn loose, you may have to reheat. If there is any bolt sticking out on the broken one, you can just heat the threaded end. This method has worked good for me for the last 45 years.

Re: Muffler flange
Do either of you 2 know the correct bolt size? one snapped on either muffler, and I'd like to buy new bolts, before I take everything apart.
