yeah it should work you drill a small hole in the stud then stick that into it. its like a backwards screw as you spin the stud out it gets tighter. but not sure it it will handle the torque you need to pull the stud out. If it works let me know. I think something like this is a must have for every and any 240 owner.

Hm…depending on the head material you could just weld a bolt to it and just use the bold head to take it off… thats worked in the past  
You need too much torque or i’d say chisel a scredriver into it with a hammer than just twist the screwdriver. Thats better for low torque applications lol.

Goodluc!
