Brian, Not to be disrespectful, but do you have some special vice-grips that you use for the? I ask this because I have always been able to get better purchase on a stud to be removed (or even installed) using "double nutting". I have a couple of long 1/2" box end wrenches that I use (so I can turn it both ways), and have never not been able to get one out. All of the vice-grips I have (some real, some "off-brand") were clearly inferior in getting a grip on a stud.
