Vise grips at a 90* angle to the STUDS.

You might need to put them on very tight. Obviously, don't grip the threaded part, do it down in the center area where a bit if scarring doesnt matter.

You can also "double up" nuts to do this. Put two nuts on the threaded part, crank the top one down tight on the lower one, and then use the lower nut to turn the rod out.

drill and ez-out. it's brass so it's easy to drill. FYI, the sensor does NOT go all the way in...you'll usually see 3 or 4 threads left over. Be sure to blow out any metal shavings after you're done.
