Busted off a cat to exhaust stud...

[Albert86]

Last Saturday I was removing my exhaust.
Had put on Liquid Wrench 2x and let it set both times (yea - I know - should have been PB Blaster).
..
I ended up breaking off one of the studs from the cat to the muffler.
...
I haven't pulled the CAT yet.
(Will pull this weekend - installing headers)
..
Is this a replaceable part or do I need to make something up and have it welded on.

TIA - Albert

I did the same thing on three cat studs installing my headers
I ordered three new studs from the dealer.
The old ones can be lubed and hammered out and the new ones lubed and hammered in.
Much easier to do when the cats are off the car.

Thanks JD - I hadn't looked yet - was praying for your answer.
I owe you a virtual beverage of choice.
