If you can't get them out by driving a socket on them, use a cut off wheel and cut the heads off. Pull the manifold off and remove the "studs" with a vise grip. It can be a real time consuming problem!

Good luck!

try a metric socket. between 1/2 and 9/16 i think is a 13 mm. ive had good luck doing that when bolts and nuts were rusted.
