2 nut method, works perfect every time. Put one nut on, thread half way down the stud, put a second nut on and tighten them into each other pretty tight using a wrench on each nut, then use a wrench to remove the stud by turning the inner nut counter-clockwise. If you try to use that stupid 6 point on top of the stud, youll just end up stripping it ;)

wow..sounds pretty neat,so i take a (2) nuts what size.....the first one i put on half way but not tight against the block but in the middle,then i take the second one thread that up against that,until tight,then i just use the inner nut to remove the stud,did i understand this right

U can use the nuts that are originally used for the manifold. Just make sure u dont strip the head of the nuts in the process.
