anybody have any advice, tips, tricks on getting a broken exhaust manifold bolt out of a aluminum head?
An exhaust leak developed a couple of days ago and noticed the very rear driver side manifold bolt was loose, real loose. Actually it was broken and the head fell off as soon as I touched it. It appears to be broken flush with the head and in the least accesible location [right next to the firewall].
Is there a problem with these trucks/bolts? Don't know if its a coincidence or not but this is the 2nd broken manifold bolt on a NBS truck that i've heard about in the last month.
getting kinda pissed off, I've only owned this truck for 2wks
Any help appreciated
