A lot depends on exactly what you're up against. Is this stud broken or intact? 
Is it in the head or the case?

Broken head studs generally have to be drilled out and retapped and helicoiled.

Intact studs in the case can generally just be double-nutted and backed out.

Trying to remove intact studs from a head generally results in a broken stud.

Tell us more about what you're trying to do.
