    Right - so with the manifold removed, you can see stumps of the studs still in there. It should be enough for a stud extractor to get on it.

    as said, take manifold off and you will be able to extract the broken studs

    did you remove the manifold and use mole grips on the remaining threads?

    I don't believe you. Everything comes out if you know what you are doing with the correct tools.
