Default Manifold bolt broke off...

After installing my headers, everything was running smooth. Then i had to re-tourque the manifold bolts. Snap! I might even have another one that broke off.....

I can take my header off and the bolt shaft will be sticking out about an inch, so I could take a vice grip and try to take it out that way. Any other suggestions? How long am I able to keep it like this without causing any damage? Thanks!

dont use the vice grips. get 2 nuts that thread onto the part of the bolt that sticks out. thread the first one on, then thread the next one on after, and tighten the second one against the fist nut. then you can take a wrench and unbolt the 1st nut, which should be the one closest to the manifold and unbolt the broken bolt form the manifold. really easy to do, cept hard to explain in words. hope this helps. the first nut should be lucked into place by the 2nd one, and has no place to travel backwards, making the entire bolt turn counter clockwise, thus unbolting the broken bolt.
