What is the size of the nut that holds the exhaust manifold and exhaust pipe together (3 nuts on each side). Thanks

For God's sake, don't go to the dealer for them! I had to pay $5.50 for a stupid nut in a pinch one day. Actual size in a nut&bolt joint is 8mm with a 1.25 pitch. Buy a handful for $.30 ea and laugh at the guys who go to the dealer. Good luck, Jay and Lazarus--'94 Disco

they are 8mm x 1.25?? (standard pitch) Definitely 8mm.

They are studs, not nuts, BTW.

I tried to tighten the nut it seems 13mm.

Yes, it takes a 13mm wrench to tighten it, but the stud size is 8mmx1.25. You could find a variety of external sizes to fit the same stud. i.e. 1/2", 13mm, 9/16" etc. Hope that helps. Jay
