Rear Bottom Engine Mount Studs?
 

Hi Peeps. 3.0 race case.

I need to replace these threaded studs with longer ones in order to mount a tow hook, a GT3 muffler carrier and a mount plate for a Lifeline Rain light.

Any trick to removal? Can i simply Vice grip the crap out of them and back out? ( of course, with the engine supported from bottom).

thanks very much.....SmileWavy

You should be able to double nut them out.
By 3.2 the factory used 10mm bolts

Frank,

Could you post a picture? Thanks.

He's talking about these studs. That's where those tow hooks attach.

Thanks Walter. Yes those. And nice weight reduction! BTW. 10mmx1.5 thread. I think i can just double nut them to back out. Maybe use a propane torch on the block. thanks everyone.

nice holes Walt!
