Freehand drilling often causes expensive head damage. This exhaust manifold drill template kit gives you a precision-guided system. It works as a reliable broken exhaust manifold bolt removal tool to get the job done right.How It WorksThe base plate is machined to match the exact bolt pattern of 4.8L, 5.3L, and 6.0L LS III V8 engines. Tapered alignment bolts secure the plate tightly. Slip-fit bushings guide your drill bit directly onto the broken stud. This manifold bolt drill guide design lets you move from hole to hole without repositioning. After drilling, use the stud extractor to back the bolt out cleanly. If the extractor cannot grab, switch to the tap-size bushing. You get a versatile exhaust manifold extraction tool and repair system.Built-In Engine ProtectionA double-sided drill depth gauge prevents over-drilling into the coolant jacket. That mistake is one of the most common and most expensive during this repair.
