If my memory serves me right, I have removed more than 150 Dilavars head studs. About 4 dozens or so Dilavars studs are saved in my garage.
Using a Snap-ON stud remover and a strong impact wrench are my primary tools which I learned from Tom Butler.

This . I had one I had to heat for 15 minutes with my map gas . I gave up on pipe wrench and got a set of vice grips on the stud. the stud actually began to twist at one point but she finally let go and was miserable all the way till the end . What a satisfying feeling getting that last bugger out.
