Hey all. So my anticorrosion (acf50) treatments throughout the years failed to protect my exhaust manifold bolts of the horizontal pipe of my 2015 800. as per picture, the bolts are so rusted, i can powderise them by hand. I will wire brush it and clean the studs, but i am not sure whether to: 1- clean and replace bolts only - risk of stripping the studs due to rust 2- replace studs and new bolts. if option 2, then can somebody please advise on HOW to remove the studs, with what? and the torque values of the stud into the engine, and bolt on the stud? Many thanks
A common issue. You'd better have a look at this thread. https://www.ducatiforum.co.uk/threads/knackered-exhaust-bolts.83965/
