Snap it off then take the valve cover off and take the stud out and replace it.

you just put it on the nut or bolt and turn it like you are going to lossen it and it digs into the nut or bolt and takes it off you will have to replace the bolts after you get them off

Just do like xracerhatchx said and use a flat head screw driver to pry up on the bottom of the nut while you use a ratchet to unscrew the nut
