I have a '97 with the 5.4. I noticed a ticking noise when cold and thought possible exhaust leak. After searching the forum and seeing the number of broken bolt issues, I was even more convinced this was probably my issue. Sure enough the last bolt on the back cylinder, driver's side is broken off clean at the manifold. Also the manifold to exhaust pipe flange bolts are almost completely rusted away. Any tips on removing the broken bolt? I'm thinking I probably need to remove the whole manifold to get the old bolt out and address the flange bolts, but I hate to risk breaking more bolts off in the head.

Thanks,

Jim
