      Very nice

      bike !
      Was following thread and I have one exhaust nut that the allen is now stripped. I'm going to cut a slot in it with the dremel cut off wheel, see if I can get one of my impact driver bits in there held by vise grip.
      Was wondering does anti seize help keep the exhaust nut re-movable, I'd think it would just burn off.
      Anything that would work ?

        Anti-seize compound is supposed to work in high heat applications. It even comes in heat ranges.

          Thanks Marty !
          I've been using it on the studs but had no idea if it was doing any good. Never saw heat ranges on it ?

            In a pinch, you can use Pepto Bismol as anti-seize on exhaust bolts....

                gold never seize is good for some pretty high heat... its used regularly in high pressure/high heat steam systems

                  Do you mean the stud has sheared off? Cutting a slot in the stud (is that what you meant?) will weaken it, IMO. It will most surely snap the edges off at the slot when you exert any force on it. They're weak enough even in one piece...

                    Hey James,

                    I think he means the recessed Allen Keyed OEM style exhaust NUT has stripped out inside. Around the exhaust there's not a lot of room to try to put a pipe wrench around the round nut. It usually does have some knurling around it, but also not sure if he would have enough room for even a pair of vicegrips.

                    Done, was wondering if you would be able to dremel/grind some flat edges around the nut to where you could put a socket on it....but your single large slot and large/wide impact driver sounds about right. Might try also spritzing it with some PB Blaster as well before attempting to loosen. Good luck!

                      I see what you mean now. The Allen socket in the OEM nut has rounded off inside. Cutting a slot or making faces for a socket or ring spanner would probably work...
