Also note that the threaded part of the stud BELOW the nut mite be rusted and therefore any tightening of the nut is only forcing the threads ot the extent it only feels tighter than it actually is. IF condition of threads on the studs is unknown then use a couple of flat washers under the nut to shim it out just enuf to be able to pick up a few extra threads for tightening. OF course that only works if the stud is long enuf.
