The early cover leaks real bad, and I'm hoping the newer style will seal better. So I need to know how to get the two studs out, and install two bolts. I was thinking I could lock up a couple of nuts on the studs and back them out? | | | | | Joined: Aug 2004 Posts: 1,418 ODSS Lawman | | ODSS Lawman Joined: Aug 2004 Posts: 1,418 | The two nut trick is exactly how to remove the studs.
However before you do that remove the valve cover and place on something flat. Often they are bent causing leaks. Little bit of work with the body hammers can fix that.
