Sloppy mechanics how to: broken exhaust manifold bolt removal *update 8/1/16
***
seems like the photos i had uploaded died so here is video!**
i have made threads and photos but recently had a friend drop off some heads that were pretty bad and showed in real time how i deal with them
pulled a ton of them in less than 20 minutes that he could not get out
just wanted to show people how it works again

As for the nut, maybe if you got the goober long enough to stick out of the head, you could tack a nut on the end of the booger. That way you could get a socket on it instead of vice grips. Maybe that's what he meant. Either way, good info. A friend of mine had one break off the head of the bolt, still had about 1/2 inch of bolt sticking out. We heated the bolt with a propane torch and used vice grips. (No welder handy). Amazing how fast the head dissipates the heat. We had to heat it about 6 times. Each time the bolt would get tight again after about 30 seconds of turning.

True. I got fed up with it after breaking 2 titanium drill bits in one side and a ez out on the other. Threw em on there and haven't had a problem yet. (Knock on wood)
