I broke off both EGR bolt/nuts trying to remove them
a couple months ago.... but it's hanging on there. In fact
I think I'll need to gently hammer it to get it off.

The plan is that when it's warmer, I am going to pull the
whole intake off to get at those broken studs..

One guy suggested wire welding on nuts to what remains
of the studs rather than remove the intake.... not sure yet
on that one.

It would be next to impossible, to weld nuts on the broken off EGR bolts, with the engine still in the vehicle.  There just isn't enough room between the firewall and the intake.
If you pull the intake, or the engine, then I'd say that welding nuts on would be the best bet on getting the bolts out.

Ah, the pain in the ass side.  :)

They aren't that hard to swap out, but I completely understand getting tired of a rig and replacing it with a working one.

Yes, I would have to put a few hours of labor and a couple
hundred bucks into it... it runs well and uses 1/2 quart of oil
every 3,000 to 4,000 miles..

But, up here it will bring $1500 the way it sits. Hunters and ice
fisherman snap them up.
