Even worth installing doreman manifold clamp?

[DaveO9]

I just did the Dorman clamp on the drivers side rear stud a few weeks ago. Install sucks but it's doable. If you end up doing the clamp, check out my review on Amazon first. I'm username Zora and my review is currently at the top. I gave detailed install sequence and tips.

I agree with @OR VietVet. I don't think there's any possible way to get that particular stud out w/o removing the head. I plan to keep my rig for a long time. Eventually I'll rebuild or replace the motor. Of course I'll do it right then, but for now the clamp is just fine.

Never extracted a stud. Don’t think I could do it right tbh. It’s in there I’m sure. Can’t see it anymore on the manifold.

Got a picture?
