Vice grips and a big hammer, or vice grips with some sort of a leverage adder. . long pole or something. If those fail, add heat to the equation and it's sure to come loose.

You can get a lot better grip with a stud remover. It tears up the threads on the stud, but it always works for me. This link is for a Craftsman, but you can get a K&D at NAPA for about the same price.

You could also try using 2 nuts on the stud, if the threads aren't too messed up yet. You would thread on 2 nuts, then put a wrench on the one closest to the engine, and use whatever leverage you can. The other nut will keep the first one from unscrewing off the stud.

first i did try using two nuts but it failed because the threads were too far gone. Used heat and pb but still no luck. I will use a stud remover next and hope it works. Thanks guys.

A good trick with the vise grips is to grind a flat on each side of the stud, so that you can get a better grip. I still advise the stud remover, but there's a possibility that grinding and vise grips will work.

Stop wasting time and weld a nut onto the stud. Seriously, once you've done that you will NEVER go back to any other extraction method. Someone you know must have a welder.

FINALLY!!!!!!!Success!!!! Borrowed a stud remover from work and it came loose with one good turn. But now the freakn threads inside are striped a little. When I go to put the new stud in, it's sitting off and goes a little ways in and gets stuck. Guess Ill have to rethread now. Thanks guys for being so helpful.
