What amazing results.

Hi KiWinUS; Years ago when I was visiting Walt Dupont he showed me his extractor, I got one right away. It's been so long now I can't remember where I got it. It looks like a deep socket and is bored all the way through and will handle any length stud and is turned with wrench. They come in different diameters and is the best I've found. Soak studs in a fifty fifty mix of automatic trans fluid and Marvel Mystery oil. Don't use a plastic bottle. If you break a stud weld a washer to it with a smaller ID than the OD of the stud then weld a nut to the washer. Important you let it cool first and then just wrench it out. if the nut breaks loose just reweld it and it will work. Good luck, Craig.
