Stuck Exhaust Manifold Bolts

teidullie · Feb 8, 2008

Hey fellas 2 quick questions for you i got a new header and as I was removing the old pos one i got some of the old exhaust manifold bolts stuck. 2 to be exact and one actualy broke off inside the head of the motor. My first question is does any body know of a way to get these out and then of course the one i broke off in the head. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

im not familiar with this pb plastic but i had to use a breaker bar only after 8 months which was when i replaced the stock exhaust manifold and broke the same exact bolt that you had the very far right one. where would i be able to find some of this stuff

If it were me, I'd hose it down with pb blaster, put a pair of vise grips on it as tight as I could and I'd use a cheater bar on the handle of the vise grips and wrench them out.
