[AT] 1935 JD B Testing progress.

Dean,
After 3 H and 2 B manifold replacements the best technique I've found for
trying to save the studs is to cut off one side of the nut as close to the
threads as I can with a Dremel cutoff tool then either grind or file as
close to the stud threads as I can.
Repeatedly heat and cool the remainder of the nut until I can get it to
turn with vice grips.
