Probably because its an aluminum stud. Any ideas on how to get it out? there is about 1'' sticking out of the block.

That happened to me too on my 93t. One of the studs came off and stayed on the housing itself, while the other one was still on the engine side. I left it alone, and just put it back on that way. I wonder if it's supposed to be like that.
But, if you ruined the threads with vice grips.. then you will need to either take a die to it.. to get it re-threaded or, get it out somehow..
