I have a tool called a "Stud Remover" that softly grips the threaded studs and pressed

in pins and allows you to twist then out accordingly. It's pretty cool.

The stud remover is also known as a Bouncer.

A side note, Make sure you make a oil drain hole in the front cover before you put it on the T2 engine! I made that mistake. I thought I would be able to use the rear drain on the block (TT13b's have a turbo drain on the rear plate and the front cover) but then I made my exh manifold and found out that it would be damn near impossible to use the rear So last night I had to pull the front cover off with the engine in the car, not that much fun.

I went the same route Directfreak went, drilled/tapped right under the OMP. There is a perfect indentation there for 1/2 NPT.
