Don't break it again lol
Haha. Went to retorque everything (100 in-lbs + 30* turn which is roughly 125 in-lbs) after a few hundred miles of driving, All went click, and the last to check one spun like it was loose. Then snap. I was like fuck haha. I'm amazed that 4 hours after my initial post, not one comment, or gave some piece of advice, except yours buddy haha.

What was your trick cause I’m in the same boat lol
Hit it with some heat with a propane torch. But not on the broken bolt, on the aluminum around the bolt then blast it with wd40. Then with a small flat blade screwdriver you should be able to unscrew it easily.

I broke mine last week. Soaked the broken stud in pb blaster and used different size screw drivers and slowly came out with patience.

I replaced the screw and spacer with one from the old manifold. All good now

I know how to get the bolt out of the head lol but how did you “pop” out the spacer and fasteners from the intake itself?

Press it out. I used a 6mm deep socket and gentle tapped it out of the intake.
