Angry Slight problem please help

EDIT: ok, NEW problem I grinded a flat spot on the stud for my TC drop so I can put a crescent wrench on it and now it is working but it is just pushing the cross member down instead of extracting the stud.

small pipe wrench on the stud maybe if all you can get in is three bolt that will hold to go get a tool or what ever you need to to extract

This, just lower the crossmember so its out of the way. BUY a pipe wrench and remove the stud. Usually 2-3" is enough, too much lowering and you start hurting the motor mounts.

Next time you are removing a stud, use 2 nuts and a regular wrench, it will be alot easier.
