Housing studs..
I want to replace my housing studs becuase they are slightly booger'd up on the threads and over 40 years old. To take them out, should I just smack them on the end with a mallet and force them back out the hole? And then I imagine when putting the new ones in, tightening a nut onto them will draw them back through the hole and the verticle threads (lockers?) will lock them in place? Thanks guys...

Nic... what 'housing' are you referring to? transmission? axle? diff?
