I used this basic procedure provided by another poster.
0. Remove everything as if you where doing a spark plug job...
1 see if you can get the bolt high enough to grab it, do so if not you're drilling and tappin it
2, with the bolt up ( no more than 1/2 in)….
Remove the 2 bolts holding the air box; disconnect the front intake...
Unbolt the 3 bolts and 3 nuts...
3. Move it by gentle pulling the intake up, the studs will be a guide... The air box and throttle body will move with it!
4. Completely remove bolt, I you need to drill it, put rags over the intakes on the block.…
Easiest way to remove this bolt would be to use a left direction drill bit… in a drill going in reverse…
5 insert new bolt
6 then install everything back on the car
I was able to pull the front part of the intake manifold off to the side to access the broken bolt. New bolt cost about $5. No other parts needed.
