did anybody have this probelm? i was trying to remove the exhaust manifold from the head and it's seized. there is three bolts and three studs, i got two bolts out the third one i snapped the bolt head off but there is plenty to grab when i get the exhaust off. so the probem is the exhaust is siezed to the three studs and the broken bolt, i don't think it's siezed to the gasket but i'm sure it's not helping. does anybody got some tricks for this problem i don't want to damage the exhaust manifold
