Studs come out just like a bolt. What is the problem? You install a stud with your fingers until they bottom out and back them out 1/4 turn, or you can stake the stud hand tight. Some folks will torque the stud 5# just so it is tight, however ARP recommends that you use the above instructions. The torque is applied to the nut, not the stud threads. You can remove the studs by hand if you are worried with the washer and nut still on the stud after loosening. Joe-JDC
