I am replacing my cracked cylinder head, got everything removed today, only issue I am having is with the exhaust manifold studs. Anyone have any tips, tricks, anything to get these out?

 

Not sure about that specific application but one trick I saw for removing studs is taking two nuts and threading them onto the stud then tightening them together really good and then put a wrench on only the inner nut and turning it counterclockwise to extract the stud. Hope that helps

 

If you can not get the studs out, Dorman sells a hardware kit that includes all of the bolts and the two studs.

 

Yea I bought the Dorman kit for the new head, putting all new hardware in when I replace the head.
