Re: stuckup studs?

Don't know if this will help or not. But, have your tried a studpuller? I
have an old Craftsman number from back in my teenage sports car mania
(obviously haven't completely recovered yet). Anyway, gizmo has a 1/2"
fitting for ratchet, breaker bar, whathaveyou. It's essentially an
excentric cam. The more you twist the tighter it grips the stud. This
might work, will certainly chew up remaining threads you may have. Good
Luck - YMMV
