[DeTomaso] gumball pantera needs to remove a rear ZF stud

[bill gaino]

How about use 2 nuts and jam them together?   I have a HORROR story. My early car had the crappy rear single mount. A couple of studs broke off flush. I tried to drill one out and it FELL inside. I had to remove the ZF and shake it, but I did get the broken stud out!  Even if you use vise grips and mess the threads, you can get new ones. Just don't let them fall inside!  Bill 1362
