I'll take a look tomorrow. At the moment I cannot get the original nut back on the stud.

What stops the stud coming undone when the exhaust is removed and the nut undone?

I had a motorbike and when the nut was undone the stud in fact undid and came out, the nut stayed seized on the stud.

After a while in use the heat makes the stud seize into the thread.

If you don't want to have the possible problem having more snap off as you try to undo them, leave them in but use BRASS nuts, They don't seize on.--
