Do you have a dremel and pipe wrench? Take the dremel and grind two flat sides on the stud for the pipe wrench to grip. use the pipe wrench to turn it back and forth a couple times to loosen it and then unscrew. The heat from the dremel breaks the locktight or rust and loosens it. I did this on both of mine and they came out like butter.

this only works if you have some stud sticking out. if it broke flat, you'll have to drill them out.

Sometimes a fire wrench is even helpful (torch).
