I removed my exhaust manifold, to inspect the exhaust manifold gaskets (I have been smelling fumes in the cabin).
Of course, 4 of the studs came out since the nuts were seized on.
I bought 4 new studs at the local dealership (thankfully not "stealership" pricing for the studs).
I saw a video on Youtube, where a man installed new exhaust manifold gaskets. He replaced the studs by hand.
Is that how I should do it? Or should I put 2 nuts on the stud, opposite of each other, to try to torque the stud to the cylinder head?
What is the torque spec in ft/lbs?
Is anti-seize okay to use on the studs', including the threads that thread into the cylinder head?
