How do I remove broken exhaust manifold bolts?

I was trying to save a few bucks and was fixing my car myself instead of taking it to the repair shop. Just my luck, I snapped two of my exhaust manifold bolds. How do I remove them now?

Shannon Martin · Updated on May 18, 2022

Reviewed by Shannon Martin, Licensed Insurance Agent.

Don’t worry; you can easily remove the broken exhaust manifold bolts with a bit of patience and penetrating oil!

A good penetrating oil like WD-40 or Liquid Wrench is made to dissolve rust, allowing stuck nuts and bolts to move freely.

If you live somewhere with winter salt and snow, you may need to let the bolts soak for a few days. If not, soak the bolts for a few hours and you can remove them quickly and then get back to your repair job.
