I would say best to pull manifold. Had two of mine break & I broke another while removing manifold. Was able to drill & tab two out, the third one I had to get a welder to come weld a nut on it to get it out. Boy was it fun, they were all three the very back ones. Maybe you’ll get luck if someone has anti-seezed them in the past. Mine had never been out in almost a million miles. Good luck
