i had the same problem.. mine was on the drivers side .. the first stud ... it took me 4 hrs to get it out... i ended up drilling it out and being very carefull with the threads.. and then reamed the threads .. i only really have a few threads holding the new bolt in... but ive havnet had any leacks.. just remember... be VERY carefull... after all it is your head... kinda important peice on the motor lol... also if you go nuts with it... heli coils are your friend!!!!

 

alright i got it off and those studs are like rust welded into the block so what do i use to get them out I cant grab them with big channel locks. They just slide right over the bolt. Thanks

Hose they down with penatrating oil a ton, and heat the peice they're threaded into with a torch if you can.

 

Alright thanks I am going to try rust buster or something like that. I have a feeling wd-40 isnt working on this one. My dad is going out of town till the week end so I will have plenty of time to soak them. I dont do any work without him. Cause if I break it w/o him there, guess who has to pay to get it fixed.

PB blast works great.....100x's better than WD40

 

PB Blaster is the ****s

 

I had to replace one when I put the stock manifolds back on. Aero Kroil, we get this stuff at the plant, works great. Industrial stuff, so not many people carry it. Soak it down for a day. I used a good pair of vise grips. If needed, spend the $10 bucks to get a pair. Work it back and forth as it binds to loosen up crud. Re-spray as you go. Patience was the key. If you get frustrated walk off and try again in a few.
I didn't notice if yours was broke off at the bolts head or at the head. Much sticking out?

 

alright guys went to autozone and bought some pb blaster. Sparayed it waited 10 minutes tapped it with a hammer a few times then sprayed it again. I will do the same thing tomorrow morning when i get up. then i have to do some chores, then i will try to get them out about 2 or so. I was lucky that JBA sent me all new 12 bolts for the header and 4 bolts for the flange connections good company would suggest for a set of headers. ill let yall know
