Is the head broken out?

if so most likely you will need to drill it out.

?


the head of the screws is pressed in, the only part you can lossen/tighten is the bolt itself(if you are talking about the primary part of the manifold)

if you snapped that, then it should be home free.

buy yourself a left-handed drill bit. you screw that sucker in there, it should yank it out.

Take a drill bit close to the same size as the screw thread and drill it out. Use a sharp bit and lots of oil.

Ez=out's ared designed to get out strip out heads not the screw shaft.
