    You mean the stud? I would soak the daylights out of it with PB Blaster for a day or so, then grab it with a vice grip and see if you can back it out. Why do you need to remove the stud?

    I haven't looked closely at mine but sometimes the studs have a 6 point head on them at the very tip of the stud that you can stick a socket on and remove the stud. Which usually rounds off and you end up using a vice grip anyways, lol..

    You can double nut it and tighten them together then loosen the stud with the inner nut

    So put the two nuts on, then take a wrench or vice grips on the inner nut and loosen it and it will bring the stud out?

    Yup the pressure will be pushing on the outer nut but it won't turn cause its locked to the inner nut so the stud has to give and come loose
