I thought about the first link as a last resort, but would like to find the original part.
The 2 second links are to be used against flat surfaces (like against a frame rail) this one is free standing and just the bolt goes thru the brace. The brace is more of a guide for the two lines and keeps them from moving/getting bent.
I know a pic would be helpful but I didn't take one before and I'm not currently able to show how they are mocked up. Hoping to be back to normal soon tho.
Yay I accomplished something today. can at least take the EGR valve off but still can't get the studs to break free. Got a MAPP torch (and maybe a couple minutes isn't long enough,) tried a nut splitter and the splitter's edge wore off rather than doing any damage to the nut. Tried using the dremel cutoff wheel to break the nut from the stud and I still can't remove the stud or the nut.
ETA: I tried the 5 mm socket after heating it and no movement. I'm running out of ideas or maybe I'm doing something wrong but the nuts seem like they are a much harder metal than expected. Even the dremel is struggling cutting through them.
