- Get a stud extractor (I don't know if that's the right name or not).
- It looks like a spark plug socket, but it's got 3 rods in it that grabs the
- stud when you turn it. They usually come in a box set of 4 or so.
- You can also use it to put a new stud in. 1" should be enough for it to
- grab onto. It's a cool tool, and it doesn't wreck the threads.
