I use a ratchet wrench with a flex head and break the bolts loose from the engine compartment side, then just spin them out by hand.

Did you ever find a resolution to this? Mine has been doing the same thing for about a year now. If I shut it off when its hot, its hit or miss if it'll start again. The starter will just stall out trying to spin the motor, only when hot though.

Let me know if you do, I'm either buying one or fixing my current one in the next couple weeks.

x2, but I noticed you said its leakign from the last stud? Is this the front one or the rear one? The front stud is supposed to get lock tight or thread sealer (don't remember which one) on it because it goes through the water jacket in the head. Maybe there wasn't enough sealer on it and its...

x2, have no clue how you can press the unti bearing hub in too far.
