RE: Broken Exhaust stud REMOVEAL???
It's not fun at all, but drill the center out and try an extractor bit. Soak the everloving hell out of it for a day or two with aerokroil or some other premium penetrating, rust-eating liquid. If that doesn't work, then you'll have to drill the hole out and either re-tap it for a larger stud, or try heli-coils. I know heli-coils work for spark plugs in aluminum heads, not sure about exhaust manifolds on iron heads though.
