exhaust bolt?
not sure of what the exact partname is, but the bolt that actually holds the pipe tp the motor. how bad is it if you might have stripped that nut. i must have taken my exhaust on and off 4-5 times over the last few weeks because i was trying to paint different parts and this last time when i went to take the one nut off it difficult to take off. then when i went tp put it back on it goes on what seems like maybe one thread but grab enough to screw on all the way. i am not top sure if it was me or if i screwed up bad time, but i am pretty sure i just made a pretty expensive oops. any help or suggestions at all are appreciated.

I'm thinking big vice grips on the stud...but itmay beloctited in so you better PM Shovelhead Bob to get the proper removal technique......you should get new exhaust crush gaskets as well if you have had the pipes off that much. Then try some never seize on the new nuts as well.

First I'd try threading the nut on another bolt (5/16-24)to see if the flange nut is f'ed or not. If it's ok I think I'd try carefully chasing the stud threads before I started pulling it out of the head...good luck!
