get a large [1-1/8"+] deep socket.

place socket over stud and AROUND the cone, this will do you absolutely no good if the socket is pushing down on the cone.

hit the socket directly down. it will drive the cone up and you can grab it from there.

works every time.

fwiw, i have driven on a stock arm with no nuts 75ml off a trail and windy mountian road and it was still just as tight as it was when we left. [1am trail repair, coulnt get the arm off on the trail and forgot to put the nuts back on. didnt know about this trick till the next day and it popped right off]
