Good lord, you are now telling me the $tealerships just came up with
another way to screw you out of big bucks by replacing a screw stud with
a press fit that needs a freaking machine shop to fix? It also has what
looks like a steel nut which is pretty much guaranteed to rust weld it
making removal impossible.

When did they start this rip off?

I would guess with the TJ?

The YJ 258 uses screw studs and brass nuts as far as I have seen and I
have taken a couple apart. I sure didn't notice heads in there.

Your NAPA link is for a TJ, not a YJ.

now that's a brilliant way to rip folks off.

I'd be taking a press to remove it and replace the
thing with a normal bolt.

Are you sure you're not picturing axle lugs??? I've welded bolts to the
collectors for ease of removable, but we always us coarse threads and brass
nuts.

Re: Snapped off an exhaust bolt
 

I looked up the offending part in the parts book.

The OP has an 88YJ which would be the 4.2 l engine, cast iron exhaust
manifilds and the SCREW IN studs. The 4.0 l engine in the 88 Cherokee
uses the fabricated manifolds with the PRESS IN studs. (Pressed in
through the thin manifold plate. )

If the OP has the 4 cyl, they would be the press in variety.
