As a side note, before I used the extractor I did soak the stud down with PB Blaster and let her sit overnight, and gave to stud some lite taps (I repeat lite) with a hammer on the end of the stud.

PB blaster is good stuff. I am a Kroil fan, the oil that creeps. I watched a guy tear apart an MG engine that sat in a barn that basically had no roof left. We drank beer and took bets when he started on the exhaust manifold. He took kroil and a small ball peen and kept spraying and tapping any that didn’t break loose he kept soaking and tapping next day we stopped by he had all the nuts off, and the manifold was laying on the bench. I always keep a can on hand, can be hard to find.
