On my experience you should really use the threaded rod method. It is not as fast but it is much less likely to damage anything.
Here threaded rod method

I think I'll take the more foolproof method over fast! Besides, it's taken me over 2 months to get to this point, it's too late to be fast! LOL

So I tried removing #1 exhaust guide tonight without any luck, other than I did manage to break off the top of the guide. It won't go down, and it won't come up. Anyone got any helpful advice/tricks to get the valve guides moving?

Did you need to do anything else, or were you able to break the guides free and pull them up with the B7 threaded rod? What year of car and engine were you working on?

So you see how I did this from this thread
valve guide extraction I tightened the nut at the top and it pulled the valve guide up and out. The spacer at the top was large enough for the valve guide to pull through. Large washers stacked at the top and where the spacer then rested on the block. I used standard grade 2 threaded rod. You can get hardened threaded rod from McMaster-Carr. The Grade 2 was just on the edge so you probably need stronger. Here's that link. link to discussion of McMaster-Carr

Yes, I saw, but I pulled my hardware store threaded rod in two! I'll look for some better grade rod tomorrow.
