snapped downpipe to turbo flange bolt

Whats the best way to try and remove it? Let it warm up or when its cold?

Its one of the 3 bolts that hold the downpipe to the turbo exhaust housing, its a 4x4 saff cosworth

I presume its snapped flush ?

If so soak it in WD40 and drill it then use some easy outs.

It will come out, they can just be a bit of a pain

thats a lucky result then, i had to remove my manifold to get into mine and that ended up with the head coming off to be helicoiled after threading a couple of manifold studs.
