If you want to remove the stud intact, and have the use of an impact gun, you can torque down a nut and use the gun to remove the stud and nut together, and when you want to reuse, its pretty much the reverse, if you have trouble with the stud if you try this, soak it with some pb blaster and heat with a torch, if it is broke, you can drill the rest out, remove almost all of the meat, until its thin enough to where the metal will flex and be able to remove with an extractor bit. Or drill thru to the tap size.
You can also use two nuts, tightening them both on together, and use a wrench to remove if the stud is intact.
