GM LS 1999 - 2013: 4.8L, 5.3L, 6.0L, and 6.2L V8 Exhaust Manifold Broken Stud Repair Kit - Rocky
GM uses loctite® when installing the studs at the factory, making them some of the most difficult to remove, especially up under the firewall. Therefore, we went one better. We incorporated two sets (125/188) of our tough Gold Tooling (Drill) Bits to first pilot, and then drill for the larger extractor to remove the loctite® fitted broken bolt.

*Repair times may vary depending on the location of the broken bolt, whether a previous extraction attempt such as welding has occurred, if a previous repair resulted in a broken extractor or bit and the number of broken bolts.
