I have a stud remover I got from matco I think. It works just like a socket, slide it over the stud and it grabs it.

Screw a nut onto the stud approximately 1 1/2 inches, screw on another nut and with a wrench on the bottom nut and a socket or wrench on the top nut tighten the nuts together. Put a socket on the top nut and unscrew the stud. Works every time with no damage.

I just double nut them and back them out. The stud remover I have from NAPA works too, but it does scar up the shank of the stud.

Like said, Matco, Snap on etc is where you get a real stud installer and remover. Those cam lock tools should never be used an a race engine, they damage the stud. LIKE THE 2 CAM LOCK TOOLS i HAVE SITTING ON THE LID. They are for one removal, imo. This tool has 3x the leverage as 2 double nuts. Different col let for each size fastener. This one came from Snap On. Every fastener is a stud on my motors. You know its GREAT to have fancy tools from back in your old racing days BUT most do it your selfers have budgets to stick to. I do a lot of engines and double nutting has worked every single time and it FREE. Head studs aren't supposed to be cranked in tight anyway and take very little to break them loose. Take you pick and buy a fancy tool or try the free way. Its up to you.

If double nutting worked on every fastener, then I wouldn't own a stud tool. And it's not a fancy tool, it's basic tool and I use it for many pieces of equipment, not just race cars. His question was about head studs. If he's in the garage business your tool may be necessary although even with 33 years as a Millwright I never needed one.

He asked about a stud tool , I educated him on what one looks like and how it works. Get over yourself!

If I have a stud like that and I may have to remove it quickly at the track for maintenance is I remove it at home and screw a couple of nuts on the stud so you can hold it in a vice. I then cut a small screwdriver slot ( with a cut off wheel) across the top of the stud so when its in the car I can take a screwdriver to screw out the stud after the nut is removed.

Sounds like you need to buy shorter studs from ARP. The new studs should be broached for an allen wrench. Then they will be easy to install and remove. ARP has the shorter studs to clear the exhaust flange on a std port head like the Indy EZ.
