Bolt securing exhaust manifold have sheared off, how do I fix?

Exhaust manifold on Vauxhall Vetra SRI 1996 model is blowing and on checking I discovered that two of the bolts securing manifold to engine block hace sheared off. How do I remove and replace bolts?

simon,if you can remove the other bolt holding the manifold on you may be lucky there might be enough of the old studs left sticking out for you to get a pair of mole grips on them if you find there is not then try this, you need a stud extractor kit this you might be able to higher from the higher shop or local motorfactors the kit has a number of special drill bits in it with the different sized extractors full instuctions come with the kit good luck
