Ray,
All you need to do is take two nuts, spin them on and tighten them against each other, then use the one closest to the block to spin out the stud.

Ray it is prefered if before unwinding the stud you apply some local heat to the cases, a hot air gun will work, this has two fold effect, one if a PO has used locktite it will help to loosen it or if the studs are very tight it will expand the metal enough to allow the the studs to come out without tearing out the threads which can sometimes happen
