Re: GM LS Broken Exhaust Manifold Bolt Fix (step by step with pics)"
I forgot to mention, and have no pics of it. There is a small heat shield low on the firewall, that is held on by three nuts on studs. Remove the nuts, and remove the shield. It will gain you another inch or more of space by the bolt hole. Trust me... you need all the room you can gain!
The wire I happened to have in the welder is Lincoln .025 solid wire. I also have 25/75 shielding gas. Not sure how this would have worked with a cheaper no-gas welder using flux core wire. With my welder, and the gas... there were virtually no sparks, and no slag. Just wanted to make note of that.
