M/C reinforcement plate?

[Jim69coronet]

Are the 2 studs screwed or pressed in the plate? I'm guessing "pressed" in. What is the best method to remove these studs?
I don't have access to a press. Could I use a vise and sockets like pressing bushings out or in? Failing that i can just just use bolts?

Thanks

If they are splined and pressed in you can probably place them over something like the open jaws of a bench vice or any solid surface with a relief for the bolt head and drive them out with a hammer.

They are not pressed in, they are called "projection weld screws". They have small tits on them and when they're inserted from the back they are hit with high current that fuses the tits to the plates - kind of like a spot weld. If you want them gone you'll have to grind off the heads.

Grind off the bolt head or just the tits?
I'm starting to think I don't really need them and just bolt up the booster. And hope I never have to remove the booster again.

Thanks

I'm hot sure what you're doing BUT those studs protrude through the firewall into the interior, not outwards into the engine compartment. They serve to line things up.

I'm doing a front drum to disc conversion and adding power brakes. I need to remove the studs from the manual reinforcement plate and use them on the new plate for the booster.
I'll try to grind off the "tits". Do I really need to use these studs or can I just use bolts?

Thanks

You can't just grind off the tits. No problem using bolts, the factory used studs to speed up assembly.

What are you working on ?
Life would be easier if you just used a factory p/b plate - available at virtually anu swapmeet.
