Nothing could be easier.   Thread a normal nut on.   Thread a second normal 
nut on.   Tighten the first   nut against the second one.   Then put a 
wrench on the first one you installed, and simply back the stud out.   Then 
separate the two nuts, remove them on at a time, flip the stud around, jam the 
nuts together on the other end, and use the outer nut to run the stud into 
the case.   Then hold the inner nut, remove the outer nut, remove the inner 
nut.

You only have to thread the first nut onto the stud far enough to give you 
enough remaining threads to get the second nut on securely.   If you tighten 
it all the way down against the case, it just makes it more difficult to 
access it with a wrench to remove it.
