How to Remove Tracking Bar Stud

Can anyone tell me if they've had any trouble removing the stock tracking bar stud from the rear diff? It seems that its just seated in the eye and should be able to be pushed out toward the rear, but so far, a solid rebar and 2 lb sledge hasn't budged it. Tricks? Techniques? Am I doing it wrong?

Once you get the nut off, just twist the stub with a pipe wrench. Works every time.

Re: How to Remove Tracking Bar Stud

Well, a combination of the torch, pipe wrench, and hitting it worked.

Thanks so much!
