I have a couple of sizes of easy out's is that what you mean?

I have a set of easyouts, but you will be lucky with manifold studs as thease are usually cooked in and have to be drilled and re-threaded.

thats kinda what im worried about, but there is quite a bit of thread showing so its my best hope atm, fingers crossed

Weld a bolt's thread's to the remaining threads, the heat will help release the threads - use a spanner to spin it on out

Try to avoid easy-outs if you can, they are the Devils work if you snap one off. >

I've got a stud extractor set (external - not a drill in like ez-out) that tends to work for most things

If you want I can call round with it and see if we can get the stud out?

PM me if you want

Don't use an "easyout" they are more trouble than they are worth, like Darren says, if you break one off, you're stuffed, if the thread is protruding a little, wind a nut onto the thread, weld the nut to the protruding thread and gently wind out with a spanner, the heat in the welding process will usually free off the broken stud. (assuming you have access to a welder!)

An alternative I've done is grind flats on the remaining thread and use a spanner to fit perhaps

thats the way i do it when the skid steer shears its hydro pump bolts, dont know if a manifold stud will take it??what if i were to give it a roasting with the oxy actylene first?

full workshop access but our stud extractors are a bit agricultural and wont quite go small enough
