Re: Stuck Headstud on V6



Graham, I think you are being too conservative. This stuck stud will surely 
not be of any use to you once you go to put the head back on. Grind and drill 
it down to break it free. 
I hope this helps you some.

one side of the stud to a depth of about 3/4 inch then I hit bed-rock.  A
4 cyl. head-puller will not fit.  My thought was to unscrew the 7 other
studs and rotate the head to break the bond but I was successful in
removing only one.
