Bill,
I did not but I had that apart about two years ago to redo the exhaust.
At that time I did have a broken bolt. Because I was swapping engines, the engine was in the trunk of my car so i took it to my local garage where they used a lot of heat (cutting torch) and vice grips to get the stub out.
The key to doing that was to try to turn it back and forth very small amounts - not just one way.
I have also been told that applying your favourite rust remover and then tapping the heads with a hammer over a few days is also a good technique for getting difficult bolts out.
I believe there are others on the forum with significant expertise in this area.
Hope that helps,
Peter
