New Manifold Stud Removal Technique?!
I may have just had an epiphany....or I may be an idiot....but for removing manifold studs on the 5.4....couldn't you slide a stubby socket over the stud....then slide a washer over the stud so it was sitting on the socket....then thread on a left handed flanged nut? Wouldn't tightening the nut pull the stud out? Correct me if I'm wrong...and I probably am....but I just envisioned a process similar to the Lisle puller tool and thought maybe it could work...
