My 59 ab flathead /// What I have?

That tool isn't the greatest , but will still work. What you need to do is heat the area around the stud, then use a wet rag to partially cool the stud. Then try to back it out. Soaking them will do no good if they are really stuck tight. You could soak them for a month and not get anywhere.
 
i broke three the other day and my brother came over with a stud tool. it worked great on the last three studs. before that (45 other studs) i was using an 18" pipe wrench and fighting them all the way. great workout though. i broke three and tried the drill out method.....does not work and dont ever do. i tried the welding washer and welded nut method using a mig....did not work....then i used a stick welder using 7018 rod 3/32dia with the heat cranked up and just puddled the weld through a nut only and let cool. the broken studs came out first try each time with no trouble at all. Now i can call myself a professional stud remover.:)
 
I thought I would post a picture of the collet style stud remover a few people have already mentioned. I still occassionally break a stud but it seems to work pretty well.

Hey buddy I think I will go the same way to remove the studs, it is not easy, that I know, but I enjoy learning in ford barn, after all, I am proud to have this old Ford V8 engine, the sound will be wonderful ...
