I've just replaced my exhaust, and was very worried about removing these studs as i've heard horror stories about it.

Re: Rust removal

Vactan seems to be the chemical of choice on here. I've used it many times with great results, search for it on here as there are plenty of reviews for it.

Below is a link to a Zig manual, I'm not sure if this is your model, but there are other links on the T25 Autohome website. Pandp38 is correct that the relays are sit...
