RE: [DML] Exhaust manifolds gasket removal techniques & gasket installation process

["Marc A. Levy" <malevy@xxxx>]

Correction, the tool is a "Stud Remover", not extractor.. I hope there wasno confusion between my reference to this tool, and the tool I earlier referred to be used for removing broken studs.  

Sears Item #00904458000
Mfr. Model #4458
