- James, Kas Kastner suggests using Spitfire Lug Nuts for the head studs if you can't locate nuts that have more threads. Of course, these would be the older ones before Triumph started using the close

- Well, a couple of shots of PB Blast, Peter's rope trick and James' starter trick, and, voila, the head is off and the studs removed. Now I just have to take it in to my LBC mechanic and let him do t

- You got it. Most of my studs had plenty of threads to double nut but none had enough to tripple up or more. However, I do agree with John that more is always better when you can. I usually remove he
