Axleback/Muffler Removal?
I started to remove the muffler and attempted to remove the nuts. They didn't want to move so I stop for fear of breaking the studs. Do these studs pop out after taking the nuts off?

If they are studs. They don't come out.

Get a small wire brush (powered, if possible) and clean the stud threads that are exposed.
Spray nuts with penetrating oil - PB Blaster, WD-40, etc. Let sit overnight. If rust/corrosion is really bad, repeat. You're going to need a lot of torque and/or impact. You can buy small electric/battery impacts for pretty cheap nowadays - can be well worth the cost just in reduced frustration levels. Or use a long-handled wrench. Applying heat can help but do NOT use an open flame under your car. Even a hair dryer can ignite gas fumes. Good luck. Edit: Forget the impact wrench. See discussion below.

You're correct, sir. Thanks for pointing that out. I'm still working on 60s muscle cars.
