I ended up taking the whole knuckle off so I could work on it in a vice with more room. I welded the nuts on with an arc welder and used a wrench to back the whole stud out. It worked like a charm but then I had to buy new hardware.

GM said they were discontinued and wanted $27/adapter and $18/stud. So I ordered mine off Ebay for a little over $20 shipped and in the meantime went to a bulk fastener place and they had the adapters and grade 8 bolts.
