I've been defeated..
I have 7mm holes all the way through the stud, ive tried to extract but they will not budge.
So i'm going to ask a friend of mine to rethread them or something.
I don't normally accept defeat but I'm getting tired of this exhaust manifold

Re: Tips removing a rounded off seized nut or bolt. (video exhaust manifold bracket)
Okay thanks for the advice. Grinding off the nuts helped. I got the bolt off to get the bracket off.
Now I need to get the two broken studs out. These are seized!

Re: Is it possible to take the cylinder head off without taking the engine out?
All I wanted to do was change all the gaskets and inspect the pistons. I think they are fine but you never know. The main mission is to change the valve stem seals.. so I wanted to remove the cylinder head.. which means I may as well change the Cam Belt at the same time. But the space is a joke and ...

3sge sw20 rev2 engine
I'm at the point where I'm taking the exhaust manifold off from above and below the car.

My project G-Limited MR2 MK2 Rev2 import on youtube
So I'm a complete novice. I know nothing about cars and I decided to buy an MR2. I hunted one down for £300 and it runs fine. Two biggest issues are a bit of rust on the sill nearish the seatbelt drivers side so that needs some cleaning up and welding. But the other issue is the emissions are too hi...

Re: Someone stole my front fog lights
Okay thanks Thomp.
It's 100% the fog lights. So I have no idea how they got them out.
If you go to imgur dot com and put /wgVANSO at the end you will see what I mean.
