Try using a metric head stud removing tool if there is enough of the stud left to grab on too. If not, Snap On EZ outs will surely get it out. They have never let me down. I have used red locktite, which will only release if heated, to secure head studs before. If this is not a good idea on Vanagon studs, I'm sure someone reading this will let us know. Good luck. dylan
