OK, from recent discussion I know they are 3/8 NC studs, 2" long.  But how 
do I get the old ones out?  They apparantly are steel.  One broken (got 
this out by drilling, picking, chiseling, etc) and one other cross threaded 
(DPO used a steel nut).  I've tried to double nut them but no dice, I'm 
afraid of stripping the thread out.  Vice grips don't grip.  Been there and 
done that, someone?
