!!**HELP, HELP*!! Someone please Help
To anyone and everyone,
I recently bought some headers for my 91 Formula. THe problem is that when removing one of the bolts on the factory exhaust manifolds it broke off, and two other bolts just won't budge. I am not too worried about the one that broke as I am of the two that won't come out. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what to use to get them out... Thanks for reading this and please reply back if you have any suggestions.

which ones are they? might try heating them up. might try hitting the head of the bolt with a hammer to try and break the seal. might try some pb blaster.

its basically WD40, but really good stuff. You can get it at any car parts store.

Yeah, I would also recommend trying some PB Blaster. I sprayed it on all of my manifold bolts a few times the day before I installed my headers and I had no problems removing any of the 20 year old exhaust manifold bolts

Just a little troubleshooting KISS here but I take it you know about the metal tabs? Is there any pressure on the bolts?? Like it being the last bolt on the mani??
