Thanks for everyone's input on this. I did use my propane torch to heat them up and that helped for sure. So use the torch first and prevent breaking the studs like I did and going thru the headaches. Ride safe fzr brothers.
Glad everything worked out for you in the end. I know you said you used pd blaster, but I really love that kroil on the studs. A torch is faster, but I use the can (not spray) and I apply a couple of times a day for a few days and it has always worked for me. This works great if your a patient person not in a hurry.
