John,
I had the same problem with those two studs on my TR3B. I had soaked them w/
PB Blaster for weeks and tried everything. What worked eventually was
putting two nuts on them (for the tenth time) and then adding a three foot
pipe as an extension to the wrench. In two minutes it was out --- wish I'd
tried that weeks earlier.
Good Luck!
