450S 15 Posted October 24, 2022 I just finished extracting a broken exhaust stud from the head on my 450 by welding a washer and nut to it. I got lucky and didn't have to drill it out. Now that I am about to install the new OEM Honda studs I was wondering what does everyone else use for their exhaust studs, a thread locker, anti-seize or nothing?

jeepwm69 7,751 Posted October 24, 2022 I don't put anything on mine. I have had to double nut several of them to get them out that have been buggered up, which I replaced with new ones. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Goober 1,555 Posted October 24, 2022 i wouldn’t think any material would last—all that heat. lubing the threads could be a bad idea and result in over torquing of the header nut. then ruining the copper gaskets. My thought is that riding the quad often will prevent rusty nuts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
