    ^^ what he said. FWIW the tool you would ideally have is called an Etorx. It's a reverse torx bit that fits on those.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.

    You can also use the jam nut method where you put two nuts on the stud...first upside down and second on the right way. Tighten the second nut against the first nut by holding the bottom one with a wrench. Then, use the bottom nut like a bolt and remove the stud. Works very well.

    That's what I've always done. Works like a champ.
