changed them on a f-250 4x4. got them off with out much problem other than 8 broke off studs. Why you changing them?

The best way to get broken stud out that I have found is to use a dotco 90* 1/8" angle grinder, this tool is real small and gets in tight places . I call it my dentist drill. Then use 1/8" 4 flute carbide mill bits.
I bought the stuff off ebay, the grinder is a little pricey but worth every penny. I bought a lot of 50 bits, it usually take one bit per broken stud. I have done MANY Ford trucks with this tool, Its the best way I have found so far. Still sucks tho, but you can make good $$$. Oh, I'd recommend using only Ford studs, nuts and gaskets also.

ok finally a little info from people in the know........ no studs are broken flush, i thought i wood cut the remaining stuids off at the manifolds with a small die grinder, then work manifolds loose then soakem, heatem,soakem then try turning them out. if their gauled in wher do i go from there???
need more words of wisdom, got new manifolds from texas and all studs and nuts and gaskets from dealer,ok wher do i go from here?

none of the studs are broken flush all the nuts across the top are rotted offcausin exhaust leak on both sides of motor. Were10 cylinders a good idea???????????? IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM.i have been told,they are on an 02 f 350 dump truck i just got.
