eds92sc Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 Does anyone have any brilliant ideas on how to get the ball studs off the hood lift supports. I bought two replacement supports on ebay, and now I am having a hard time getting the ball stud off the old supports. I unscrewed the studs off the hood and fender, and don't want to destroy the stud trying to get it off the support. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
