I left mine alone when I was replacing the crank bearings.

Suggestion
When it's time to put the studs back in (I purchased new ones), be careful not to over-tighten the lower left stud.

If you are not reusing the studs, you can just use a simple locking cam stud puller.

Short of using vise grips on the non-threaded section and just trying to remove them without marking the bolts up to bad, is there a procedure to remove them easier?

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I'm trying to remove the 4 studs that are on the front side of the engine case halves. They are threaded on both ends. Short of using vise grips on the non-threaded section and just trying to remove them without marking the bolts up to bad, is there a procedure to remove them easier? Picture attached. This is a 2004 C2.

Put two nuts on the exposed treads on one of the studs. Tighten them against each other until they bind/lock and then back the stud out by turning the inner nut. That should do it without damaging the non-threaded portion of the stud.
What do these studs hold on the case?
Quite honestly Doug, I can't remember what bolts onto the front of those studs without going back through my notes and I'm too tired to look back right now. They go though the front oil pump console that mounts on the front of the engine but they just pass through that. Maybe the front engine mount bracket? I don't remember off hand if that bracket had bolts going into something on the case halves or there were nuts that went to these bolts that held the bracket on. I'll look it up tomorrow when I'm fresh and let you know.
Thanks for the suggestion for removing them. That makes perfect sense.
If you are not reusing the studs, you can just use a simple locking cam stud puller. If you are reusing the studs, then the best method is the threaded collar stud removal tool.
When it's time to put the studs back in (I purchased new ones), be careful not to over-tighten the lower left stud. I did and ended up cracking the boss. Had it TIG welded. These studs also connect the
