It is in the car... Don't even have room to get a socket and ratchet in thir. I tryed to use a hack saw place with vice grips but that didn't work either. How much for the studs?

[high on ej6]

If u have the intake off use wisegrips to take the stud off...than go to lowes or homedepot and buy a m8x1.25 bolt about 30mm long simple as 1 2 3 lol

Tap it with a hammer few times than try again...I just used visegrips on my b16 heads to change the studs for longer ones to use a thermogasket nd they all came out just fine

His problems isn't the studs..yet..his issue is the nut is stripped

but man ill give u a couple free and ik how it is u would have to attack it from under the car like I said use a dremel tool to grind 2 perpendicular flat spots on the nut and use vise grips to loosen it u might have to take off the oil filter for more room
