Re: GM LS Broken Exhaust Manifold Bolt Fix (step by step with pics)"

Agreed... crank up the amps on your MIG. If I remember correctly I set mine one tick below the "hottest" setting. That way it will grab that stud along with the nut and washer. Not to mention the heat will break loose the thread locker used at the factory.

I just did this again for a buddy that had 2 of them broken off in the head of his '07 Ram with a Hemi. Had the MIG set just below the "hottest" setting.
