Hello. I was replacing my IAC Valve. When I turned to tightened the two bolts, the heads of the bolts ripped off and the threaded stem is stuck in the manifold.

What can I do?

Thank you,

Gian

My car is a 2001 6-cylinder.

Good news, a small piece of the bolt was sticking out and I was able to finger-unscrew both of them. Thank God!
