Thanks, Marlin 🙂
I have that trick in my memory and it was very likely from your earlier posting. I used it a few months ago when replacing my intake manifold.
to add a little helpful addition to your directions, I take a small cut-off wheel in my Dremel rotary tool and slice a groove in the top of each stud, suitable for a flat blade screwdriver. Easier than fussing with pliers if a stud somehow manages to get wedged or over tightened
