I broke a stud in mine trying to swap the downpipe and now the bold-out is broken in the broken stud too:)
So, I only need the exhaust manifold.

Never, EVER use and easy out. 9 out of 10 times, they shap and then it becomes a real PITA to remove. Removing it is doable but not easy.

I have to admit that I screwed this one up. I used one size smaller easy out so I don't demage the threads. And then I got carried away with the adjustable wrench. I should have known better.
I hope to be able to fix it. I drilled the stud all the way through, so I should be able to punch it through. There is room between the bottom of the hole and the end of the stud.
Unfortunately I'm out all evening. So this is a task for tomorrow.I got myself a few cobalt drill bits and some small grinding stones and diamond points. I'll probably end up with a bigger stud on that side.
