You mean as far as extracting? Are they broken off flush? Is the manifold off yet

Let us know the situation if you can get the manifold off. When you see the broken studs, any normal bolt extraction method should work.

You can try drilling it for an easy out. How big are the bolts?

Any decent hardware store will have the studs and an assortment of brass plugs, just bring the old studs with you. Or you can always get them from the dealer or online.

there are 5 bolts on the passenger side 4 on the intake and 1 that holds the fuel rail which also goes through the intake manifold i will be able to use the 1st , 3rd and 5th bolt and the one that holds the rail will this be enough if to seal the manifold to block since 2 are broken flush and i was thinking of epoxing the studs to hold the coil packs in
