How the heck did this happen? I know that I had to use a chisel to remove one that was rounded off, but...
Well, the oddball looking one snapped on the first twist of the wrench after a 15 minutes soak in WD-40. The other one, after soaking in WD-40 for 45-60 minutes, the nut rounded off instantly as well.
I used a Dremel with a teeny tiny (used) cutting wheel to get a chunk out of the nut without damaging the head.
Once I had the nut off, I was able to lift the head off, flatten two sides of the remaining damaged pieces of the stud and twist 'em out with a pair of vise grips and a 24" break-over bar (pipe)
Those suckers were in there pretty good...
