GOD DAMNIT
So I'm taking off my EGR... exhaust side blt is rusty, so i soak it down with PB and work ont he intake side. I get that on and all, and go back to the ex side. Still wont budge, soaked it with more PB... waited a few and tried again... and snapped the mother f'in bolt. So now I have an egr valve with a tube witting int he exhaust (not held on by anything) and the intake side open... and an exhaust manifold that has a bolt stuck in it that prevents me from gettign the blockoff plate on, and will probably blow the tube out of it once i run the car leading to a massive exhaust leak.
What is the quickest/cheapest/easiest solution here???

Yeah, Sears makes a screw-out tool that might work. I might be able to make it up there to help you out Stack.

Is the broken stud exposed? Heat & a stud extractor or maybe vise grips. Is the manifold iron? You might need to remove the manifold.
I won't even ask why you removed it.

picked it up (45 bucks, WTF!) but ended up not using it due to no room for a drill... plate is TIG'd but we forgot a side... RTV will do for now there.
Thanks to Alex, and anyone who wants to see hsi welding can look at my car tomorrow

not for nothing, but you should never have to grind TIG welds down.

I don't think it's worth approx. 1 MPG to pump my exhaust back thru my intake manifold.
