take  manifold off drill out old stud retap put a set stud in from top of manifold i did this with three studs on mine do not use gasket seal or bodge it will only come out

If you can get a stud extractor socket onto the damaged threaded stud you will be able to remove it as the other end with the sound thread is in the manifold.

Remove old stud ..replace with new stud and fit exhaust and do up new copper nut.

Thats no bodge ,infact it is replaceing exactly what you already have without the need to remove the manifold at all.

Irwin stud extractor from Machine Mart.

I disagree with this as a first step.

No need for drilling, if you can extract the existing stud - try that first...

sorry i should have said on mine the stud had sheared  :-?

Well thanks for the multiple suggestions

On balance I think I will try spacing between the nut and the manifold with other nuts etc and try to get a decent seal then if this is not succesful possibly try using the "threadnut", if I understand this correctly is able to chase a new thread up the stud.

Obviously last resort is to replace the manifold which
i probably can do but would rather not  for obvious reasons. Cheers

Omegod, remove the damaged stud wth a stud exractor and replace with new studs. Fit new copper nuts and job done. dont bother with spacing them it might put too much stress on the last part of resonable thread and strip that as well.. with a good extractor they will come out no problem.
