    If you can grab any portion of the stud, heat the manifold:

    I just went through this recently
    tried the old standby for me,
    got the flange dull red
    and promptly twisted the stud off
    it was soft as butter
    presumably from a long rough life.

    I was lucky enough to drill dead center clean
    worked a bit of the bolt thread out with a pick,
    just enough to get a tap started
    used plenty of cutting oil and followed the old threads
