It's come to my attention this is apparently not common knowledge.

Take a nut, screw it a short ways down the stud you wish to remove. Now, screw on a second nut until it hits the first.
Grab each nut with a wrench. Unscrew the bottom one, but prevnt the top one from turning.

You'll now find the entire assembly, both nuts and stud, will unscrew.

Now just unscrew the nuts (you may have to sperate them first).

And what to do when using jamb nuts gets "locked up" and breaks the stud:

Also with a preventative measure to avoid breaking said stud.

I would also add to use penetrant spray and heat liberally, but not at the same time.

if you heat up the stud base nice and hot, then let it sit for 2-3 minutes and THEN spray it with penetrant spray, the cooling will suck in the penetrant. just spray a lot on it after 2-3 minutes when its still very warm (i.e. not too hot to touch, but warm enough to be uncomfortable to hold)

this is the same process for "sweating" copper tubing fittings.
