Rear Exhaust Manifold
 

Ok, last week when changin the oil pan gasket on our 03 escape with the 3.0 the bolt of the rear exhaust manifold snapped off. Does anyone know if these is a stud that is pressed in and can just be pressed out....or am I in need of a new manifold??

They are studs pressed into the flange and can be pressed or knocked out and replaced with another stud or bolt and nut set. I break them everytime and have just put in the later ever since.
