Been off the list for a while - good to dip my toes in the Dak pool again!
Get a screw in stud puller and make sure the part of the stud you're gripping is powder dry.
Good luck.

Tom,
I was just thinking about another area that might help me out with the
extraction of the bolt/stud; what do you think about it: Would it be better to
do it when the engine is completely cold; like in the morning? or Would it be
better to let the engine warm up and try to get the bolt/stud out when the
engine is warm? I do have mechanic's gloves, so the temp of the manifolds wont
'really' be a concern. I was just curious of what would be better/easier if
the block/manifolds were warm or cold; this could possibly help me out a
little more, you think?
