Okie Dokie, lots of good ideas out there :p First lesson, while newer chevy studs come right out with a few hammer blows, nothing doing with the AD studs . . . I tried beating them out, I tried drilling them out, I tried HEATing them out and all I got was a ring around the collar. You might say these are a royal butt itch. Drove to the shop at work and used the 20 ton press and presto! studs are in the trash - two points for the Northern Tools Chinese press. Now back home to see if this is going to fit. Pictures anyone? I promise to make them small

- Note to self . . . remember to buy a press next time you are at Harbor Freight :o :p
