98 GTI 720 Manifold Issue

[Seadoo Tuner]

Stud broke on the Seadoo GTI 720's exhaust manifold - is this a screw in or press in? Trying to figure out how to extract and replace.

Screws in. Drill it and insert a Helicoil. Or you can buy a used manifold. Good Luck !!

They almost always break because the rubber support washers are worn out. If you don't replace them they will just break the bolts again and again.

I'm too anal but I gotta have pretty. I'm putting together (2) 717's for the Jet Boat I'm working on. Takes me forever. LOL

Just to confirm, the rubber support washers (2 pieces) are on the horizontal bolt only, number 19 in the diagram below correct?

Yes, that is correct.
