In way over my head
Hi all!
New to the forum, Yamaha, AND motorcycle club. Exciting days!
Picked up a 1980 XS400 last tues and I still haven't been able to wipe the smile off my face.
Anyway... My question.
One of the exhaust stud bolts is broken.
I removed the pipe and most of the bolt is exposed.
I've read in all sorts of google searches as well as http://www.xs400.com/forum/showthread.php?t=6377&highlight=exhaust+stud on how to remove it once all else fails.... But you'll have to excuse my simplistic question...
If I'm able to put 2 nuts on it or turn it with vice grips or similar... should I just be able to turn it out like any other bolt? Lefty Lucy? Is it hopefully that easy?
Thank you for any help! (and dealing with my lack of knowledge at this point)
