Broken lower exhaust manifold stud 200 1988

Help please,
I've broken off one of the three studs on my exaust manifold where it connects to the front exhaust pipe. These appear to be pressed into the manifold (correct me if I'm wrong). I'm hoping this doesn't mean major trauma for my exhaust manifold, because if I've had this much trouble with these three, (not to mention the trouble I've heard of in the archives and during a quick search), I'll definately farm out that job.
Anyways.... thanks in advance for your help,
Doug

    earthman is right, they are not pressed in.

    If you can get a bite on the broken stud (vise grip), you may be able to twist it out. May take a bit of WD40 or what have you.....heat, if you know your way around the "blue wrench".

    By double nutting the other studs, I'd pull the others also, and get all new ones. I got mine at my local parts store. I think earthman is right about the size. If you take the others out...match them at the parts store.

    Head to a pick and pull yard with a torch (heat is key) and grab one for cheap. It is a good weekend job.

    Good Luck!

      take the manifold off the car and drill it out the broken stud, fyi they are not pressed in, i believe its a 10mm 1.5 aprox 40mm stud. pep boys did sell them at one time in the hardware section.
