Hi guys,
I have a 2010 Jeep Patriot North Edition, it is my first car and I try to do the majority of the work on it myself since I’m a student. Recently I’ve heard this exhaust leak and I have located it right where the flange is. Today I sprayed some rust penetrator a few times then I tried removing one of the bolts in order to replace the gasket ... and it broke. I’ve got a couple questions that I’m wondering if anyone has got answers to. 1- Are these factory bolts welded or threaded anywhere cause I can’t seem to remove what’s left - if not any tips other then rust penetrator or torch? 2- do you know the gasket part number or where to find one I’m only able to find the 4 bolt pattern rather than my 2 bolt. Thanks for the help!
