Hey Guys

A buddy of mine is installing a K&N air filter [he got it CHEAP] on his 454EFI, the stock air filter is held in place by 4 "studs" that stick out of the side of the motor. The K&N filter uses Allen headed cap screws about the same length. How hard is it to get those studs out? I gave them a "twist" with 2 nuts jammed together, but, they didn't budge, I dont want to break them off if I am doing something wrong?

Thanks for ANY help in advance!
Michael
