Message	I was attempting to replace the idler studs with RameyZ per recommendations from folks here after my timing belt skipped a few teeth. Anyway, I've got a stud remover, and attempted to take it out, but it wasn't budging and I started to worry about snapping it off. I had a 16" breaker bar and couldn't get it to turn. I sprayed with a little pb blaster. Anyone have another idea? I thought about using a little torch, but there is some rubber foam/seal around the back timing cover.
