Thanks for everbody's input. I did find a stud remover off one of those nap-on type trucks. It ran me about $25.00 but worked great. Also PB Blaster seamed to help out as well. This is not any easy job, I wouldn't recommend many people to do this. One additional question. When putting the new studs in, does anyone know the toque setting? When putting the studs in, do I just hand tighten them in, or do a need to double nut to torque them in? thanks, pat vin 5552
