Question ARP Head Stud will not come out?!?!?

I have one ARP Head Stud that will not come out... all the others come out by hand using an allen wrench.

Any ideas/suggestions?

Is the special tool made to remove head studs that have seized???

You can try putting two nuts on the stud and tighten them together. Then using a wrench on the lower nut and turning it the top nut will keep it from loosing and the stud should turn. Good Luck

Thanks everyone... if the double nut ( ) trick does not do it I will grab the Knurl-Grip Stud Extractor from McMaster...


FYI, I also found it at JEGS:

The double-nut trick will remove stubborn studs that the (Snap on) extractors just laugh at.

Actually, the best tool I found was the Snap-on stud extractor, will not damage threads and works great. Just not sure on the ARP studs as they are rolled threads but it should work OK.
