Fork studs...
Hi all,
I've recently bought a 43F kickstart XT from one of my mates.Inevitabley with a bike this old it's showing signs of wear and tear and amongst other things had a blown fork oil seal,I've replaced the seal but when taking the front end apart I noticed that the 4 studs that hold the front wheel spindle clamp all have dodgy threads and need replacing  .
According to my parts cd the studs are sold as part of the fork lowers,so I'm looking at removing them and replacing with exhaust studs or something similar.What I need to know is, has anyone else had this problem and if so how did you get the studs out,and what did you replace them with?
Thanks in advance,
Mark
