So as typical, the two lower center studs have come out with the nuts on them plus the thread stuck to it.
Digging through some old threads, there was a mention of using a standard 5/16 stud like this: https://www.oreillyauto.com/detail/c...0/675201?pos=8
The holes will have to be heilcoiled anyway and the guy in the thread says to coil it for a 5/16 stud as they are much cheaper and easier to obtain.
Anyone done this?
I kind of like the idea since those studs are super common.
Also, apparently the dimensions of the stock studs are 8mmx1.25x45mm, rockauto has replacements listed as m10x1.25x40 so which helicoil would I need if going with stock studs? I'd assumed the m10x1.25 set..
