There's a lot of opinions on this board. Here's what I have done:
Spray with pb blaster
Hammer the studs with some type of brass. Now I use a brass punch and hit the punch against the end of the stud which makes the cone washers fly off. Before I would put a brass plumbing fitting over the end of the stud and beat on that with a sledge. Either works, the goal is to allow the brass to deform instead of the stud.

you also can take very small flathead screwdriver and tap it into the cone washers groove but that takes a lot longer.
