I made up an extractor as you describe.
Instructions I found suggested a bar to rest on head studs but I found this unstable and it slipped off.
I therefore made a wide plate which sat over 4 studs for stability. I made 2 of these into 2 and 4 (as the water branch got in the way of using on 1.
Then using the cored out spark plug into the head and a slimmed down coach bolt I wound the head up the studs.
I had to pull the head all the way up as I had really tight studs. The first time I did it I had to hang the car from rafters with just the spark plug elements and hooks on the coach bolts. This time was much less traumatic, I just wound it up.
will take picture later if that doesn't make sense

Here go some pictures. The plate is 17cm long, 10cm wide, 5mm thick. it was just a piece I had available.
