Default sprocket studs

my bike is so powerful it sheared them right off the carrier.

haha, j/k. seriously tho, how would i get em out? for some reason i have a feeling that some penetrating lube, some heat, and a regular stud puller won't do the job, but i could be wrong.

id rather not cut off the ends, then drill em out and re-tap the holes. that seems retarded. they arent stripped, but im not concerned with damaging the studs, as long as i dont damage the threaded holes they go into.

Can't you just bang 'em out like a car stud?

the holes dont go all the way thru, and they're threaded in according to the parts diagram i was looking at.

I had the same problem on my old bike. I used wd40 and carefully loosen them. when I couldn't go any farther, I sprayed them with more oil and let it sit for a while then loosen them further. There might be a better/faster way but thats what worked for me. good luck

oh, if you have any brainiac friends keep them the fuck away from your bike...trust me on this one
