I have a broken bolt on both exhaust manifolds on my 2k dakota 3.9. I don't really know how to got about drilling the broken pieces out but I am gonna try to find videos and do it myself. If anybody can help me that would be nice.

I just did that this weekend while installing my headers. 1st you are going to nned a good set of left hand drill bits and extracters. Start small but not too small. And work you're way up in size till one works . But and I can't stress this enough do not break an extractor off in there if you think its going to break move to the next size. Also heat helps I suggest mapp gas or oxy acetylene around the bolt hole . And if that doesn't work like it didn't for me drill it out and put a helicoil in oreilly has helicoil kits
