I did 2 cases worth a while back....you are using the right tools, but do not be afraid to try turning the stud back IN to the case when it is good and warm. I used a regular propane torch so there wasn't a risk of melting, a few were pretty tough to get out, but if you keep heating and hammering...they'll come out. In terms of warming, I probably spent 10 to 15 minutes per stubborn stud, playing the flame both inside and outside of the case to get the heat up.

Don't be afraid to really tighten the Snap on tool on to the stud....I used the impact wrench on full power to tighten it on the stud.
