Torch it.

As in heat it up till it’s glowing and beat it out?

Wear PPE - glasses and gloves. Heat it up until it's glowing then try to twist it out with channel locks or vise grips. Be careful.

Tried this, didn’t work lol

What attachment did you use on the air hammer? Should be a pointed punch. Also cut studs as flush to the flange as possible. It will absolutely work done properly.

10-4 that’s what I had figured if I had got it close enough !!!

I also had to heat mine and press them out. They were a royal pain

Another vote for heat. A map gas torch will get hot enough. Just heat it up till its red hot and twist it out with channel locks.
