I was changing my gasket and one of the bolt holding the header broke off i was wondering how much would it cost to fix
borrow pic from EGDC2CIVIC

 

get an e-z out tool and then buy a new stud.

 

where can i get that at the e-z out tool and the bolt

pretty much anywhere they sell car parts...even the wal-mart tool section. as for the stud i'd just get one from the dealership.

 

mines broken as well you dont really need it but its better to have but if you dont fix it just make sure air doesnt leak out if it doesnt leak its ok

 

ya shops will charge like ****. i think sears have'em too. call them up before you go. good luck

 

better to fix than to risk an exhaust leak

 

i had one break too. in the same place. it was already broken and didn't know till i changed header and wondering why it wiggled so much so i went to tighten it and it came off. it was holding by 3 thread. i went and got the craftmen ez out. but the drill i had wasn't torquey enough to turn the bolt. so i suggest getting a strong drill. it took some time but i got it out. i found a bolt off a sohc civic motor and replaced it.

 

an air drill would work rite

 

it might but you need something that has torque at low speed.

I had the exact same header stud broke off and I used the exact method illustrated in the above thread. It only cost me $2.99 for the Craftsman screw extractor.

w3rd.

 

i guess im fixing mine as well since its seems easy with that write up.. and i also need to get one of my mom steering wheel screws off so i can add my quick release thanks for posting that write up

 

mine broke off but not all the way in... I used a vise grip to get the stud out and slap another one in.

 

considering it got broke towards loosening, thats hard to take off because obviously the stud is frozen. The best thing for u to do would be to heat them up with a torch for a bit but not too long and try to see if u can grab them with nice vise grip because they are a lot easier to come off if they were hot...

Ditto here, and another broke flush to the head, so I will EZ out that one when I pull the engine for a rebuild.
