question...

[stdntDrvr]

how can i get broken bolts out of my head? when i took off my stock exhaust mani, there were 2 bolts that had snapped off in the head.

any advice? i've tried drill bits that were made to remove broken bolts, but they're not working out.

well since the head is aluminum, you can take a torch and heating up the stud. it will expand the metal and pretty much make the stud alot easier to take out. if you can grab it with the drill bits or vise grips just enough after heating it up, it should do the trick.

i can't grab it with vise grips...they're both broken off inside of the head...i'll try with one of the drill bits. thanks!
