Good lord, you are now telling me the $tealerships just came up with
another way to screw you out of big bucks by replacing a screw stud with
a press fit that needs a freaking machine shop to fix? It also has what
looks like a steel nut which is pretty much guaranteed to rust weld it
making removal impossible.
When did they start this rip off?
I would guess with the TJ?
The YJ 258 uses screw studs and brass nuts as far as I have seen and I
have taken a couple apart. I sure didn't notice heads in there.
Your NAPA link is for a TJ, not a YJ.

now that's a brilliant way to rip folks off.
I'd be taking a press to remove it and replace the
thing with a normal bolt.

Re: Snapped off an exhaust bolt
Are you sure you're not picturing axle lugs??? I've welded bolts to the
collectors for ease of removable, but we always us coarse threads and brass
nuts.

Re: Snapped off an exhaust bolt
I looked up the offending part in the parts book.
The OP has an 88YJ which would be the 4.2 l engine, cast iron exhaust
manifilds and the SCREW IN studs. The 4.0 l engine in the 88 Cherokee
uses the fabricated manifolds with the PRESS IN studs. (Pressed in
through the thin manifold plate. )
If the OP has the 4 cyl, they would be the press in variety.
