Managed to get 2 out of the 8 nuts off without shearing the studs. :\
One of them snapped off flush with the block though. Guess i'll not be riding anymore before the weekend.
Not happy.
:'(
Oh b0ll0cks mate. I have the same fear. I've got in a new set of studs n nuts to swap out but very reluctant to even look at the originals with fear of em shearing. Let us know how you work a solution which I know you will. Best of luck! a good nights sleep is a good thing when stumped with a problem like that, there is always a way. Hopefully not engine out though. But if it does mean that, oh well when it's fixed n engine back in, happy days.
This week I've been mostly tinkering in the garage
