At the weekend I'm going to be swapping my exhaust manifold at the weekend and just want a bit of advice on getting the bolts out. I've done one before and the bolts came out easy but the engine was out so wasn't really a problem if one snapped as I could drill it out.
Any tips on making sure they come out with ease? I was thinking about putting a bit of heat on them then cooling them to try and crack them off first but not sure if this will make them more susceptible to rounding?
Cheers guys!
