studs go to bottom of block at mains
MOTORHEAD You can do this in the car with some work. The studs are about 10" long to 12" long They bolt to the botom of the block at the mains. There is no pull of the cylinder walls. This is some of the reason this block will now take about 2,000 hp. Anyway Try Snapon or Matco for a easy out stud remover. It looks like a long socket with 3 or 4 bars inside that roll and lock onto the stud and not damage the threads. You can double nut the stud if you want. Believe it or not, the easiest way is like Cobra 3170 said is to pull the motor. Have plenty of room to work on it, no damage to the fenders from dropping things or scratches. You can cock it in the bay, make sure you loosen the trans mount. Have seen this mount split, make sure the stud clears the crossmember too. Good luck Rick L. ps I will go to work and get the name of the extractor for removal of stubds or broken bolts.
