    Are these a typical nut and bolt, or a pressed in stud with a bolt head on it? I can't tell from the parts drawings.
    Before I go hacking things apart... :sawzall:

    Recommend penetrating oil, wrench and impact gun to test the theory, but those fasteners are unlikely to be studs. If they were studs, the head would not be hex head...it would be a smooth pan head style, not pressed in, but welded to the flange. JMO.

    Nut and bolt. Can be replaced with SAE 3/8" if you break them(which you will if you don't heat them red hot).
