Hopefully its a brass nut....however, even at that the steel threads on the stud may well be gone.

If mild heat from a propane torch followed by an ice cube quench or a pb blaster quence don't free it up....go with a nut splitter.

Thank you, yes its the brass nut. Was able to remove 4 of the 6 no well some problem breaking free, 1 stud did end up breaking and I am still stuck with one on passenger's side. Will try the nut splitter thank you for the advice.

may end up breaking, I would soak it with penatrating oil first.

Thank you jhrusk was able to take some time and look at your Sanford build looking great. We did soak it but still had 1 break off.
