QuoteHi Nixoro
I am watching this with great interest as my 2.2 CDX has a broken stud (front lower) and it is also flush with the head :'(.  I only know this because I found the broken bit in the bottom of the engine bay when giving it its first good clean. At the moment its not leaking  as far as I can guage but its only a matter of time.....I have researched this  alot on the net and it seems you are either lucky and its easy to get out by tapping the remaining part round and out with a very fine centre punch or you are unlucky and have to rely on some fairly drastic drilling or welding measures.  Mobile stud drillers really does seem the easy way out , if you find one please let me know .Other than that all the best and I hope you are lucky with it. :y

Unfortunately having been looking I have been unable to find any Mobile Exhaust manifold stud removal peeps, the most I have found is Many Many guides on how to remove them yourself which eventually will be the way I may go not unless Vx want to do it for me.
