you need to use deep creat or some sort of penitrating spray. and a air gun. and the bolts will probably snap off also.

You can get replacment studs for in the manifold. If they snap you'll have to torch them out. I would recomend spray them down let it sit over night and use a 3/8 ratchet on it. Go slow, go back and forth. Less likely to break.
