how do you take them out. is there a secret i dont know. i think you would just use like a 5mm on the end then take it off but when i tried i broke the socket. it was a cheap socket. if i get a craftsman should i have better luck. i wanna take them out cause i got stage 8 locking bolts that i wanna use. thanks guys

I like to thread two nuts onto the stud, and tighten them against themselves, then just put a socket on them and remove. I had covered the studs in PB Blaster and a good ammount of torch heat, and they came out like butter. Good luck!
