so i am installing my hondata thermal intake manifold spacer, and it requires you to install longer intake manifold studs, well heres the problem, i have no clue how to get the intake manifold studs out of the head, can someone give me some tips?

 

double nut them, use a stud remover, fwiw, i did not use longer studs, that i remember.
