sad, sad day....

argh.

so, after all this talk about stripping nuts and
breaking studs on the exhaust manifold, I decided
to go and do both this weekend.
I was in the process of putting my headers on and
had nearly everything finished, when I rounded off
one nut and broke a stud torquing the headers down.
It looks like the stud broke with a little bit sticking out
where the header flange is, so I may be able to vise
grip it out if I take the headers off again.
My question for those of you who have done this before
(you know who you are), is whether I should just take this to a 
shop and have them do this, and whether I should replace
all the studs while I'm at it.

btw, I don't recommend taking the downpipe spring clamps
off with a screwdriver (they almost killed me when they 
came flying off).
