The studs on my front header were in a shocking state. They looked less like studs and nuts and more like rusty spikes with no discernible thread or nut. I didn't have the facilities at the time to change the front header myself so I took it to a local place who were very good and removed them without having to resort to drilling and retapping the head. They said that they managed to remove them with a combination of penetrating oil and heat.
