Oye; the  worst case. my ONLY success with exhaust studs is to get the log
ears as  red as possible with a torch, and attempt to wiggle the stud (either
double  nutted, or vice gripped), until it wants to thread  out.



That is the best way - The alternate is to cut it off, grind it flat,  drill 
the center and begin the driloing out of the center of the remaining  
material. This usually done after you twist off the remaining part of the old  stud!
