If you are junking your front cat, you can cut it off with a SawsAll near the studs. And any nuts you wrecked, use a Map Gas bottle torch heat the stud/nut up repeatedly if needed and wiggle it back and forth til you can unscrew it with Visegrips or whatever will grap it, stud and all, or if stud stays on, you can keep it on, but nice if you can get it out. Autozone sells a stud kit for these with brass nuts thats wont rust up....but the stud kit has different threads than the original, so you can't just use the nuts.
