[Shop-talk] stud removal

[Pat Horne]

I’ve never tried removing the stud using the top nut initially, I use a wrench on the bottom nut to break it loose, then move to a socket on the top nut if necessary. 

A spot of Locktite is a good idea though. 

Peace,
Pat

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.
