Thank you all for the suggestions. I was able to thread the stud out, from the inside, after I soaked both ends of the stud, for three days. Everyday I would spray a little WD-40 on both ends of the stud. Now that it is out I see the nut is molded into the base for a reason. That is what holds the stud in place. I have threaded a new bolt down in the studs place. For the ground I am going to drill a small hole in the base, near the side and use a piece of #14 copper electric wire and wrap it once around the capacitor insulated mounting post. The rest of the job is easy, just attach the positive end of the replacement capacitor to the bolt and solder the ground end to the copper wire then epoxy the base back onto the can. Now with this experience the next one will be easier. I got a bit to impatient. I had expected the stud to screw right out of the base. These are the things that make me miss my dad and his years, from the late 20's to the 60's in repairing electronic equipment. It is a site such as this one which really helps out. Again, thanks guys.
