[Spridgets] Wax Trick didn't work . . .

[ldsp]

Get a stud remover.  Proto makes one. Has a cam type  action which rotates 
inside a grooved hole (which the stud or bolt fits thru) and the other end 
takes a ratchet on it.  If you cant find one or just need to borrow one I 
would be willing to send you mine in the mail and you can return it as soon 
as you get the stud out.
