Soak with wd40 night before and use high quality 6 point sockets.

Cool.

What are the studs like? Do they tend to snap? Do i need to heat it up first?

Also, is wd good enough? Is there anything better on the market? I dont mind paying abit more for some quality stuff.

Cheers, chris

Ive always gave them a really good soak with wd40, think there is better stuff out there though. they dont tend too snap(just go easy) but sometimes the stud comes out the head rather than the nut, but its no big deal as it just screws back in when putting it back together.
If its got the heat shield on they tend to be quite rusty and a pain too get off, if your putting wrapped ones on just cut the shield off if its giving bother.
