Best way to remove LT1 exhaust manifold studs?

I need to put new set of studs on because 2 broke when putting the ypipe back on.

Whats the best/easiest way of removing them?

Take them to a shop that has carbide bits to drill them out and retap the holes.
They are now harder than Chinese arithmetic after all the heat cycles.

yea it sux ***, I did the same with mine, if you take your time, and with the right size drill(physically bulky I mean) they can be drilled out easy from the bottom, wasn't too bad, good luck!
