it happens to the best of us. i work alongside a ex-dodge tech that said daks came in left and right with broke mani studs. he had a bunch laying around that i used on mine. i did my drivers side (mani removal, surface clean, and new gasket and hardware in about an hour.) in my garage where i do all my work. if its the rearmost bolt it has a stud on the outside also for the shield (which i left off) so you cant use a regular bolt

thats the one in question. I know its a stud but i figure a bolt will work just fine and leave the heat shield suspended by the 3 working studs as it has been for some time.
i may just end up pulling the whole thing and then running to the HW store w/ bolt #2 shown in the service manual to find a replacement but i was hoping to get it done in one sitting.
