what's the easiest way to remove a broken off stud in the exhaust manifold so i can bolt back up my exhaust?

i'm assuming i need to pull the exhaust manifold off the engine and drill it out or something. any tips?

thanks,
jeff

well if you still have some sticking out of the manifold you can use a torch heat the ears up glowing red and use some vise grips turn the stud out....

but then if it broken off even.. sounds to me your best bet is to drill it out and to do that sound like it would be a good idea to remove the manifold..

and then if you dont have a torch your gonna have to do it this way....;)

good luck mine were a pain but they werent broken so i was able to torch them out easy..

good luck...
 
I like to weld a nut on it then heat the manifold and the broken stud comes out easier than vise grips, plus you don't have to have some sticking out either.
