    Remove seized cam cap stud

    Today I managed to use a faulty torque wrench and killed a couple of cam cap studs in the process.

    Any good BTDT on removing the faulty ones?
    I tried with double nuts and also pliers.
    I was able to remove spare studs on my old head using double nut but these won't budge....

    Any tips welcome.
    I really really do not want to lift the head again.

      These taper grips are the best stud removal tools I have used:

                  Thanks for the tip!

                  Found something similar, not tapered.
                  They were for M6, M8, M10 & M12 but managed to use the M6 one, success!

                      Pre heat a little bit the area with gas torch where the stud is attached.Should work.
