Well, my mechanic chickened out after taking the car in and said the head probably needs to be removed and no one in the area wanted to do it.
After having a stress headache my friend and I decided we are going to take this on this weekend. I know we can get in there and do it. It is on the #1 and when i took a video of the broken stud , i saw that it is broken about a 1/4 inch below cylinder wall.
There is some good news. Not sure if my mechanic did this or not when they tried, but there seems to be a pilot hole dead center on the stud! So the drilling might not be too bad, especially if i use a jig.
I am planning on using grabit pro's

Anyone have experience with these? I read the reviews and there were a few people who used these successfully on M8 bolts. Otherwise i also have the standard extractor, but have heard more horror stories on these. Planning on replacing all 4 bolts once i get the manifold off. I was thinking of keeping the manifold on until i saw it was not centered.
