Exhaust Manifold Stud Broke

What is a quick way to fix this problem? Its on the driver side front top bolt, i went to tighten and snap (barely tight). I went to tighten this because i notice a little bit of smoke from right there when i rev up hard. I dont want to take it all off to replace the gasket and bolt. LMK

Is there anything left to grab on to? You could either grab it w/ some vice-grips, or weld on a bolt to back it out (if you can make room to do so).

If it broke down far enough that you can't get to it as is, then there's no "quick" solution.

ehhh....yeah thats what i figured.. i guess ill just use that little back out tool..maybe if im lucky itll grab it..... thats one thing i have noticed on most nissans,the bolts break way to easy.. now i know being a 87 the exhaust manifold bolts will break with it ease, well, any bolt on my car will break with ease. My wifes 97 nissan had the same problem with her header. idk , my alternator is also going out, my gauge is sitting on 8 volts and i think my yellow top kept me from breaking down 100miles north of me. so i have to fix that today. $89 for one and my wedding is next week, this sucks yo. thanks for the help tho.
