Pulling heads with studs?

Do the studs need to come out, or will the heads fit over them. Car is a 98 Fbody

tight squeeze but it can be done. Just as easy to unscrew the studs just like bolts IMO.

Ive done it a few times on my 2000 f body. You have enough room to do it. Without pulling the studs out.

On the passenger side, you have to leave them in, specifically the bottom ones in the back since there isn't enough room to remove them with the head on the block.

Thanks guys. Just wanted to know what I was in for. I'm about to start the job. A few guys asked about that. I thought there was room. I'll take my thread chaser with me just in case
