Those clamps not worth it

If you ever worked on your car before, you can do your studs. I just did both sides of mine. Time consuming but not that difficult. If you have some tools, right angle drill with VERY good drill bits, easyout, PB blaster you can do it. If you have the time and think you want to give it a try, email me and I will give you step by step. Good luck

This part is designed for use on the flange studs....NOT on the manifold to head studs....

Might work

A right angle drill attachment will be tight. the best bet is get a right angle air drill. it is compact and works perfectly. Tip of the day. To prevent breaking off remaining studs when trying to remove them, Spray PB Blaster liberally, then heat stud nuts (get them red hot) with Propane (I prefer MAP gas) and the nuts come right off.(Be patient and sometimes you have to work the nut off and on until it feels like it will come off freely. Then once manifold is off, I sprayed the exposed studs with PB, and get yourself some stud removers. Always tap the studs with a hammer to shock the stud prior to removal). Mine came out without a hitch and then you only have to deal with broken off ones.
