Worst comes to worst, if you still got all of the other bolts, just exhaust putty it around and let it stay on with the other bolts.

Your engine code should be AEX, is this the stud you mean:

You can buy a broken bolt extractor kit. Wich has screw like bits that have revers threads on them.
You drill a hole in middle of stud then screw extractor onto it then just under it and take it out.

Another method mate if your any good with a mig welder or know some one who welds you could hold a 13mm nut (with pliers lol) over the sheared stud and put a strong puddle weld inside the nut aiming directly at the stud then simply unscrew after about 10 seconds ,the weld also heats the stud often breaking the corrosion in the treads,this has worked for me many times,hope you get it sorted :smiley:

it would work on the one sheared off alrigh just use a nut smaller than the bolt so weld will only make contact to the bolt not the manifold
