Default Both exhaust flange bolts broke clean off, what's the best repair?



Working on a 98 Ranger pickup 2.5L 4 cylinder. Even after soaking the bolts repeatedly all morning. Short of drilling the remains of the bolts out, I found a few possible solutions.

Clamp-A-Stud: http://www.nickson.com/newproducts/N...20A%20Stud.pdf

Studfix: http://www.studfix.com/

Any other options?

^^ yup yup... They aren't hard to drill, just a pain in the ass to get to.
