- The first thing I would try is a... stud remover! This is a round
- metal tool with a small hole for the stud. Turning the tool with a
- ratchet wrench causes a cam to clamp the stud in place as you turn it.
-
- Or, you could thread two nuts onto the stud, and then try to remove the
- *inner* nut with a wrench. If the outer nut doesn't slip, the stud
- should start turning instead.
-
- If that doesn't work, you could try using a pair of locking pliers,
- although that would probably mangle the threads.
