Default double nutting worked.
Even though I had to use a jam nut and one of the arp nuts, It was still a bear to get them off. I ended up taking the top ones off, jack, rotating the motor and wrestling the heads off and then pulling the bottom studs once I had clearance. I have new ARP BOLTS coming from Summit and should be here monday. Next Saturday will be putting it back together day. Wish me luck.
