Default Can I buy just one replacement head stud?

When I was pulling my head studs out of my old block, one of the small 8mm studs ended up getting stuck in the block, and the allen head stripped. I finally said f'it and pulled it out with a pair of pliars and f'd up the threads.

So I need to get a replacement stud, but don't know if anyone sells them individually. Is this something I need to call ARP directly to get?

Thanks.

Call ARP they'll send you just one. I had a socket crack on me removing a head bolt (one of the big ones) stripped the head and they sent me just one.

Save yourself some trouble next time and use two nuts jammed together instead of pliers.
