I did weld nuts on the studs.

They just don't want to give up.


Did the nuts break off?

It works better after the bolt breaks off flush. If you feel lucky, you could drill a small hole almost to the bottom of the stud, fill it up with the welder, or use a torch if the stud/hole are big enough. The heat expands the stud and softens it, once it cools and shrinks it will be smaller. You can also smack the head when it's at it's hottest, that helps upset the metal to it's new compressed shape.
