You have to have the TA cover to use the stud bolts. They go through the cover and press on the bearing caps.

i think he's talking about the stud kit for the main bearing caps. the studs replace the factory bolts. you're speaking of the bearing cap bolts, with the pivots on the end. i got a stud kit free with my TA cover. easy to install, it can't hurt.
