Did you use PB Blaster?

I did all 24 with no heat whatsoever, just some PB blaster. I also rotated the engine stand with the studs pointing toward the ceiling, attached a pair of vise-grips around the stud and used the handle from my aluminum jack like a four foot breaker bar on the vise-grips so I could walk around the case like a seafarer turning a capstan for an anchor. By the time I got halfway through "Rolling down to Rio" the stud was free. Repeat 23x.

Or you could just rent a Oxy-Acetylene torch like JW says. I have considered moving to Seattle just so I can have John as my mechanic. Trust his advice and persevere.
