I think the use of prevailing torque nuts puts too much friction between the threads and the deforming feature of the nut-- rather than the nut moving on the stud, you're turning the stud in the hole.

If the studs are broken you can use an ez-out, if they are pulled, it means splitting the case again to time-cert.
