Any inspiration to heat-cycling the rest of the studs (MAPP gas torch springs to mind) and extracting them now?
I haven't had to do this (don't say it...) but my plan was always just to grab a cheapo inductive heater to speed things up and avoid wrangling a torch if I ever went after the studs. Hell, might do it for the exhaust I've put off removing...

Something like this plus a benchtop power supply. I guess they make proper all-in-ones too, but...$35!

That is very clever, I will definitely be needing this on my next water pump change

This is a great idea and well thought out. Love the idea of it being split in two half’s now. Accommodating everyone! I will be using this in the future.
