As in my previous post. If the thread on those studs is still good DON'T try and remove them. You are just making un-necessary work for yourself.
I don't think there is enough thread to get the nut back on. As best I could I had a measure yesterday. I was not looking forward to drilling it out but what else could I do? Trikey has now said that with enough heat I may be able to knock the stud out so will try that. I will put a nut on the end to protect the thread while I work, fingers crossed.
If all else fails it will be a replacement part that will be needed.
