No I'm not talking about Chippendales in Alaska. lol!

The thermostat housing studs on my A's Cylinder head are stuck fast. I've
let them soak in releasing agent for 2 days and they still won't budge.
Where do I go from here? It's not looking good.

What is a stud extractor, will it work?

I don't own a welding torch (yet) but could a butane type blowtorch heat the
things and give me a hand that way?

How about drilling the buggers out?

Ideas please! Frustration levels at the max!! *sigh*

Cheers,
Neil.
