Awesome Video! Good thing you had the prior work order and used anti-seize on those studs. I've had my share of drilling out busted, rusted and dusted studs. Absolutely at the mercy of the last mechanic to touch them. I had to keep a fair share of disposable jobber length drill bits especially in small sizes for the pilot holes. Usually got them in 10 packs. Broken tap or drill bits are a serious pain. Centering it the first time is critical following the angle before you get 1/32" in. Bad angle equal bad day.

I usually weld a nut to the end of the broken stud and then pull it out. It also works when the stud is below the face of the head. Add some weld on the end of the stud to get it flush with the head, clean it up and weld a nut on. Always had good luck. Heads are aluminum and studs are steel

You made that look easy. I have a V10 in my shop now with seven broken studs on the left hand manifold. None of the are moving at all. I removed the shock and shock tower for more room. Going to try 90 degree angle drill to get around the steering shaft. I have also seen people weld a nut to the studs to try to get them out. I guess if they never come out there is a point where you just throw in the towel and remove the head?

Hey Eric, thanks for all the great videos! I really enjoy watching and getting the feel for a repair that I have never done before, before I try to tackle it, since I am not a mechanic by trade. My 90 degree air drill has the same reverse button, so I cut an old piece of 5/8" diameter rubber vacuum hose about a 1/4" long and notch it out to a "C" shape and insert it under the reverse button and then remove if I need to use it in reverse, which is almost never. Keep up with the great videos! Tim Nyp in Columbus, OH

I broke the bolt off in the manifold on a 4.7 Dakota. drilled it out, broke the drill bit. Got something called a " Rescue bit " and that worked really well to disintegrate the bit. Ran the tap in there to get some threads and yupppp broke that off too.... Apparently when i had the tap in my pocket the whole time drilling the bit out it made it weaker or something and that's what did it... Tungsten steel bits worked very well with the broken tap just an FYI. I had alot of fun on that job, got screwed 10x sideways hahaha. But i laugh and learn from that mistake now! Great video Eric.

Watching your videos reminds me of the time I was stupid enough to work as a mechanic for a living. I was cured of this idiocy by the head on a V12 Xjs Jag. I was removing it had it all undone and ready to come off , they are a light alloy head so I started to lift it off unassisted when it stopped moving due to corrosion that had built up around the stud holes and caught on the threads as I lifted. Pop went one of the disks in my back. Now I work on computers. Working on computer systems I seem to have fewer visits from Murphy. My favourite Murphy visits were, struggling to thread a manifold or some other awkward part into place where you have to leaver stuff out of the way and contort and scrape off flesh you get it on reach for the nut or bolt to do it up and it falls straight onto the ground like there was absolutely nothing in it's way, but no way can you get to go on again without struggling again. As for drilling out broken studs almost every third time no matter how centred I had the drill even if it was held in a vise and I used a drill press it would scew off to the side and either shape the drill or the tap.

One of the things I learned from Keith Fenner was that an EZ out is a misnomer. They work great for what you used it for, Eric, because the broken off studs' threads were not all cross-threaded or galled up and you saw some rotation. If someone broke a bolt or stud off getting it out because someone else had crossed it (new threads are better than old), an EZ out isn't going to help and make matters worse when it breaks off.

Thank u Eric!! For years in American V-8 gasket sets., u would always find these sandwiched perforated exhaust manifold gaskets that if u used them, u would end up with a noisy or cracked manifold within a few months. On Chevys, no gasket, on Pontiacs the factory type steel shim gasket seemed to work better. The gaskets that u took off seemed like the old junky ones that I am talking about. I wonder what the OEM's look like. Thanks Eric. Video turned out perfect. In part one loved the fast forward and music on the fender liner.

The heat is some good information I have found that heating the stud just to red and not the head so much is best and when it is cooling off put some ice on the head just above the stud it works for me. I just put the ice in a rag and hold it up there for a minute it cools the head and breaks the bond from the stud. Great job by the way I hope this helps the next guy out. OH and this may sound dumb but that last one take a 7/16" drill bit and drill out the first 2 or 3 treads in the head then they turn right out most of the time I used to do this 35 years ago on diesel trucks. I did not have KZbin when I was young you are a good mechanic. Keep the information flowing!

Had an interesting circumstance the other day changing the passenger side manifold on an 05 F150. Finished with the manifold, had the batter disconnected since I didn't remove the starter. Finished buttoning up the exhaust and connected the battery, started the truck to see that it was in Engine Failsafe Mode. Checked my codes P2104 & P2111. 2104 is a status code (failsafe mode) and 2111 is throttle control unit stuck closed. Removed the air box to inspect the throttle body to find that the actuator motor was still functioning, and moving in coordination with the accelerator pedal (slow 0-100%). Long story short replaced the throttle body to get the fault to clear and stay gone. Tried replacing just the actuator motor and that didn't fix the problem. Upon visual inspection the throttle stop screw had been tampered with and broke so that there was no longer a functional spring loaded plunger in the stop screw. My believe is that disconnecting the battery overnight cleared the ECU memory of throttle tables. That screw/ bolt with that spring inside of it stops some type of throttle plate movement that the ECU doesn't like and causes it to think that the plate is stuck. When I tested the TPS it was correct on both the high and low sensor outputs.Maybe you heard of or saw something like this before. I thought you might find it interesting.

P.S. A set of collars made with an assortment od's inserted into the hole would help keep your center punch and drill bits lined up as you start. Something anyone with a lathe could knock out quickly and it wouldn't take many to cover your sizes. Doug

We have the occasional 12:01 alarm here, though it's just the refinery testing their alarms. Aww, poor Mrs. I don't have sacks of money to send, but hope she feels better soon.

Makes me think I can tackle my busted bolt on my Z, Only problem is both the intake and Exhaust are both on the same side, But at least the bolt looks to be sticking out maybe 1/2 inch or so. These intakes have so much crap on them, anyway I look at it , going to be a pain, Guess I will replace all the studs while I have it apart. Right now working on Replacing my hood on the Z, and repainting it, Putting in a slight slope in my "back Yard" to help drain water away from my shop, also installing a new power wire to my back shop 300 foot behind my main shop, So 3 or 4 things going at once. You are really talented at what you do, its fun to watch, and try to guess what your going to do next. Stay warm, Hope Vanessa starts feeling better soon.

Well when I was still working I just put off so many things that needed to be done around here, And Im not all out retired yet My old Company still call me in every couple of months to train a new drivers on unloading these deadly products that we carry. Nice thing is I usually get the newest Truck on the yard, and it normally takes around 4 weeks to finish training a new guy, at least its all local, and I only drive 50% of the time. They want to put me into a dispatcher position, but 5 days a week not what I want to do right now, Just have to much to do. As much as I do around here the list just keeps getting longer. But I enjoy getting things done. Whats cool about your job is you dont know whats next to come through the door, and you keep real busy, which keeps you out of trouble. :)
