I have and they do work if they are not frost bit! Stainless or steel studs? You will have to be careful when trying to remove the studs! Alu. tends to seaze on anything! The double nut will work with some heat. Propane torch and time try going in a little and then out alittle at a time! Good pen. oil will help to! WT

Dont get carried away with the torch do it from the inside first then outside. Let it cool down a bit and try again (slowly!!) If it has stainless studs you might break it off, then stop on that one! Go to another one if it breaks take it to a shop or mich. shop and let them do it. They may have to drill them out! WT Just don't get to carried away with it!!

On an old bowl with steel studs I had to cut them all flush and drill them out one by one. and then run a end tap to clean up the threads. MUST BE DONE ON A DRILL PRESS and a GOOD HOLDING FIXTURE!!! otherwise let someone do it.

That just makes my life harder, and your's because it costs you more money/time to remove a bolt that has been seriously fucked up.

Just my .02!

Good luck.

Didnt you get fired from that JOB??

Get a propane torch and heat the studs up. Then double nut and remove.
