Can you remove studs from catalytic converter ?

I think you can just use vice grips and unscrew them can't you? I seem to recall some of the studs came off mine and some didn't.

This could work too. Maybe heat up the flange too. I've also had good luck putting two nuts on a stud and loosening the first one, but I don't know if you've got room for that.
