Gezus crites!
I say old chap, a nuclear .1 megatonne howitzer shell or anti-tank mine
attached to the stud will do the trick. US army has them going cheap.
I know this ordynance colonel at White Sands :-)
Sersiously, I had the very same problem.
The trick is buried in my TR7 workshop manual.
Use TWO nuts. Put them on top of the bolt. Counter.
Now you can use the bottom one to use a wrench on.
If you want to you can use a railway one and twist the whole mother off :-)
