oh LOL!!! I see what you did hahaha.

how about you go to sears and get a stud remover? Also I think you get the reverse torx setup as IIRC there is the reverse torx head on top of the stud (the part that sticks out). The stud remover is about $15~$25 IIRC and the reverse torx setup is about $10 (both available @ sears, the latter they might have a hard time finding, but it's in their automotive tools section, and it's made by some company which name starts with an L).

X2,
Have pulled several with a stud puller.

Just so that we don't confuse him: you've unscrewed not pulled with the stud remover

 

[Seiler]

Alright.

This is the one that I found, that I'm going to go look at at sears in a couple of days. It's a set of 6, but would use the right one. Think it'll work right or do you have a suggestion on a particular one?

for stud remover I'd suggest this: http://www.sears.com/sr/javasr/prod...OOL&pid=00904458000&subcat=Socket+Accessories

and here's the inverted torx set that I've mentioned

Alrighty. And what exactly does the inverted Torx set do again? I didn't understand your post completely.

Look at that stud. Is the end of the stud looking like a torx bit? Mine did and that means that you could use and inverted torx to remove it.

Unfortunetly, the end is not torx. I think I will go ahead and go with the bolt remover.

It's really funny tho... because I took the Jeep to a mechanic, and he got down and looked at the threads coming out, and within a milisecond he said they were factory bolts. Kind of interesting when you read everywhere that they're threaded studs, and then you take it to a mechanic, and he tells you otherwise. However, he didn't remove the nut, look at it closely or anything.

Not torx bolts, but studs with the ends of them looking like torx bits. I'd be surprised if that wasn't the case as all the studs in my jeep looked like threaded torx bits so that they could be removed with the reverse torx tool.

 

[Kejtar]

I think I might be confusing you with the torx on the stud, so I tried to find a pic that would show it. Unfortunately the best I can find is this:
http://www.textronfasteningsystems.com/images/torx_plus/stem.jpg
The lower left stud has a torx like finish on the end of the stem on one side which allows you to use a reverse torx tool to remove it. To kind of see it you'd have to save the pic and maximize it.

 

[Seiler]

Yeah. I understood what you were trying to say. Mine doesn't have that torx bit tip on the end. Seems like it would be nice if it did.

I think I will try the stud remover.
