[Shop-talk] stud removal

[Donald H Locker]

The reason two nuts don't always work is because the flats don't always
line up, and if you apply torque on the top nut only, it can release the
double-nutting rather than backing the stud out. Something like Lok-Tite
on the top nut or between the two nuts can help.
