Often that won't matter here. Even when clean dry threads that most tables want.
Exhaust Spring bolts only need to tighten enough w/ standard wrench/handle so stay there w/o wrecking the flange go into.
If the flange is used, the threads often have issues & need standard nuts or some type of captive nuts depending where/how to reach the nut.
The springs to all the work keeping the joint in place.------------------

When tightening the flange bolts, follow a progressive torque sequence. For Y-pipes, torque them to the specified value (usually around 30 ft-lbs or 40 Nm). |
