Exhaust manifold broken bolts

[Lead_sled]

Job complete. Didn’t even remove the turbo or manifold itself.

My holes were already reamed. I found a guide that fit the hole. Put the left handed drill bit in there and drilled away. Removed the bit and guide and put a bolt extractor in there and it backed right out. With the guide inside of the hole of the manifold, it drilled dead center. 4 hours later, everything was put all back together.

When I replaced the gaskets, I left the top bolt just to the right of the 4 center bolts. This was to hold the weight. I was then able to work the old center gasket out and replace with the new. Then, I put the 2 top center bolts in place and changed the other 4 gaskets.
