tighten them together then put a spanner on the bottom one and the should unwind m8.

thats what i've tried mate, put the first nut upside down so the flats are together and used the spanner on the bottom nut to remove the studs.
but both nuts are just turning and not the stud. should i tighten the nuts together more or will it damage threads??
i did tighten fairly tight.

yes tighten the nuts together more, use normal nuts and they will strip before you damage the stud as the studs a lot tougher.
Or you could, if its going to machine shop to be decked let them do it.
has any 1 used these stud before?? i think the are arp??
yes mate they widely used, and the most widely used method of removing them is to lock 2 nuts together as mentioned and undo using bottom nut, will only work if you tighten the nuts up tight.....something your not doing if theyre spinning together.
If you use a normal pair of nuts (not the ARP nuts) then they wont damage the thread at all no matter how hard you tighten them...as they'll strip well before damaging the head studs.
