I twisted off the two front exhaust manifold bolts just flush with the head on the passenger side of the motor. How do I take them out? It is too tight of a space to put a drill on it to drill the bolts out. I am going to need to jack up that side of the motor to drill them out aren't I? Anybody know what it would cost to take it to a garage and have them do it instead. Thanks

can you use a flex tube attachment for the drill and a set of easy outs?

yer probably going to end up pulling the head off. cause if you drill them out its gonna mess the threads up then you have to drill the hole out bigger and insert heli-coil. to repair it. ive had to do it a couple times.
