" The standard trick is to put two good nuts on the end of the stud, jam 
" them together with a pair of wrenches, and put a wrench on the lower nut 
" to remove. If the nuts slip on the stud, jam some more. You might end up 
" ruining the nuts, but they're cheap, and if doesn't work, it's probably 
" really stuck!

the other trick is, if it'll turn at all, work it in and out as far as
it'll go while spraying with penetrating oil.  this works the oil down
the threads, and i've seen studs that looked locked solid walk right
out with this.  i removed an exhaust stud this way after i snapped its
mate off.
