It's one of those jobs that can go either way mate , easy if all the nuts come off or can reduce you too tears if studs decide to snap
You only know how it's gonna go when you do it

Without a doubt mate , for what they cost it's well worth getting half a dozen
Give your old ones a good soak before you start , it will help + drill bit and tap Just in case one snaps
Don't forget this is worse case scenario
You may get a socket on em all and they fly off
Then jobs a good un

Are they likely to snap off in the headers? Maybe easier to change the whole lot?
