Use a stud remover tool..or.. You can do it the el cheapo way & just thread on two nuts jammed together then extract the inboard nut with a 12mm wrench, counter clockwise..

the easiest way is to tighten 2 nuts together on the stud. then you can losten the bottom nut and with them locked together woll hold the stud and losen it from its threads

here is a vid for the visual learners.
