Well thats a bad mechanic ..fll up with diesel ..whats he on about
Anyway ..here's how i did it ..same problem as yours .. some will snap off ..some will not...so just go with the flow ..let them snap and some will have to be drilled out, tackle the snapped ones, once the intercooler is off and out of the way.
Can't heat them ..that would melt the plastic ..can't weld nut onto them for the same reason ......can't get angle grinder to them as they are in a recess.
so I drilled them out, you have to drill right down the centre of them then use a larger drill to remove the rest of the head.
Then you're left with just a stud ..this would not budge with mole grips ..had to heat it up with a blow torch, then it unscrewed with the mole grips. (Last pic shows one of the busted ones and not the one i worked on in the first few pics...that was busted a long before i had it .
stainless steel bolts were be put in their place.
