Sooo... what's the trick? How do I remove the studs from the bottom of my crankcase? I know they are removable/replaceable since they are threaded, the Haynes manual indicates they are, and I've seen bottom cases without them in place.
I tried removing them by screwing a M10 x 1.25 thread nut onto the top of the stud followed by the acorn nut to hold it in place. I then attempted wrenching at the first nut to loosen the entire rod (stud). Didn't work.
Does anyone have some tips? Are the studs perhaps reverse threaded (lefty tighty, righty loosey)? Additionally, if you know how to pull 'em out, let us know the best way to put them all back in. Thanks!
