Problem w/ ARP head stud
Any one have a problem removing the studs???? I'm having a bitch of a time removing 2 of the little studs. I've already twisted 2 socket tips and I'm afraid to strip out the tip of the stud and never get it out. What do you guys use????

I had a PITA time with one of the large bolts, but never with the smaller one ...
I used allen keys and also a socket bit. I made sure they fit very snug and there was no play ... I was also afraid of stripping them.

Double nut trick. Sounds perverted but it's not. All you have to do is thread two nuts on the stud and tighten them together really tight by turning the bottom one counter-clockwise and the top one clockwise. This will give you a "head" to put a wrench on and twist it out. If the nuts turn on the threads when you try to reomove the stud, then tighten them more.
