If you are pulling all the head studs, first put some Seafoam Deep Creep penetrating oil on them, and if you have time let them sit for a day, and tapping with a brass or plastic hammer will help the oil work. Most of the time you can put two nuts on the top threads, tighten them against each other and use that to back them out. If they are rusty (like yours) this can cause them to break, so I'd carefully add some heat with a MAP or propane torch.

What about the ones trapped on the head? Add two nuts to the bottom threads to counter the top nut??? |
