Hello all. Am swapping in a new set of exhaust manifolds and need to remove the exhaust studs or buy spacers. I tried stacking two nuts and turning the bottom one and tried grabbing the stud with some vice grips. Just wondering what y'all do to pull these things.
Exhaust manifold stud removal help

Soak it in knock it loose or a good penetrant and yeah weld a nut. Maybe heat block around the stud.
Thanks for the quick replies. So pulled out my welder and it won't feed wire. Lent it to my buddy a while ago, he said something about tip being clogged, dang thing won't even feed halfway through the hose. So I'm either going to need a new hose thing part or a new welder to replace my tired harbor freight one. Will pick up some map gas and try it with some vice grips later.
I think that is the same concept just can't see the teeth, the one i have has teeth in it and tightens as you twist.
As others have said apply some heat and try to be easy with the threads in the head. Don't want to mess them up or break the stud off.

Big thanks to everyone who helped! I was able to get them out using the map gas, vice grips and the tool below.
