About two years ago I tackled a few things on my 1996 9000 Aero at the same time. New water pump, bigger intercooler, exhaust manifold gasket and unplanned new exhaust manifold bolts which broke at the head upon removal. Not trusting myself with drilling out five broken studs, I found a "SERVICE STATION" willing to remove them. Towed car down & back. $160 for them to remove and leave me with clean threads to work with. Happy with the result. Good luck...
