<VV> frozen rocker arm stud

[Ron]

I ground a socket the same way but I'd suggest that it be a six point 
socket, not a twelve point.  Also, I've noticed that inexpensive sockets are 
often quite soft and don't hold up when used on these shallow rocker studs. 
>From there, I would next use my inexpensive electric impact wrench from 
Harbor Freight although I've never had to resort to it for that job.
