I was just looking for confirmation if this is possible with vice grips. thx | | | | | Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 2,393 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 2,393 | If you mean the end studs on the cylinder head, yes you can. Depending on their condition and rust, you may need to use a penetrating oil or even apllied heat to get them out.

Check out the link. I used torch and remover with PB Blaster. I heated up the stud, while still hot sprayed on Blaster.... careful not to ignite. Use a steady pressure, but don't force it or you will snap it. Use the torch on and off until loose. http://www.harborfreight.com/1-2-half-inch-drive-stud-extractor-94640.html
