Man I'm in a pickle.this will be the 3rd time I attempt to remove the outer jug studs on my cases the other 2 times they broke.

What's the best way to remove em?

If you don't intend to reuse them, clamp the stud in the vice and twist the case half. This gives you a very good feel of how much the stud is twisting. As mentioned above, heating the case around the stud helps a bunch.

Just heat the bolt up until its red hot, then walk away and let it cool for a bit.  Once the heat gets down into the case it will break up the factory loctite stuff and you can remove the stud with a double-nut.  Methylpropane or oxyacetalene will get it hot enough to kill the factory loctite.
