Prolly not.
The usual technique (that I know of) is to put two nuts on the stud and
use the second nut to prevent the first from turning and then just
unscrew the stud. But since the threads are awol, vise grips or grinding
flat spots to use a crescent wrench might be the trick. Or you could try
cutting slightly smaller threads for a smaller nut.

Jeff,
Pardon the dumb question but can you slightly knotch the studs and
insert
slotted screwdriver and back them out? Bob

The good news: The removal and installation of the input shaft seal went exactly as Mark descibed. Piece of cake. Thanks again Mark! The bad news: since I had the tranny out, I decided to clean up the housing a bit. I had the tranny nudged over on it's side and gear oil just started pouring out the output shaft seal. Looks like this one is bad, too. I guess this explains all the goo inside my CV joint boot. It looks like a PO filled the tranny WAY past full and I'm guessing this was too much for the seals to bear. It looks like the rear seal is a bit harder to do than the front, but it's better than the alternative :(. Oh yeah, even more bad news. four of the studs that hold the tranny to the engine were stripped -- the nuts were epoxied(!) on. I have a feeling I'll have quite a time getting the studs to unscrew from the engine case. I have a feeling that by the time I get it back together I'll have either repaired, replaced or fixed every square inch of it. :) --j ============================================================ ATTENTION Email Publishers!
