Wish there was a pat on the back smiley.. lol glad you found the problem.

Be careful getting that stud out if you are doing it yourself... also do it with the Engine COLD else you will have to drill, tap and helicoil that head...

Black & Decker is horrible... my maintenance guys at work used them on industrial machinery and they always broke... every single time...

Use Snap-On or even Craftsman... the craftsman isn't "awesome" but it does okay...
