It appears that there are studs that are threaded though the block to the housing but I can not figure out how to remove them. Any help would be appreciated.

There is a set screw/jam nut that holds the pump in the housing. Remove the screw, then slide the pump out of the housing. The set screw engages with a depression in the pump to hold the pump in place, so you have to loosen the screw quite a bit. When you re-install the pump, make sure the recess is in the correct position to engage the screw, otherwise the pump may loosen in the housing and move sufficiently to disengage from the distributor. If that happens, the engine will keep running, but you will lose oil pressure; devastation may follow shortly.
