Changing Intake Studs To Add Nitro Dave's Plate

Is anyone here familiar with how to remove/replace the tupper two studs that come from the intake to hold on the throttle body for a Trailblazer SS? I need to go with longer studs in order to bolt up a Nitro Dave's 90mm LS2 plate. They look like they have a torx head on the back of the studs, but I am just not sure if they are press fitted in or threaded in?

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated!!!

Double nutting them should work well. Ill have Chris or Ray call Steve at performance turbo tommorow and see what he had to do.

I either did the double nut trick or used locking pliers on them when I put on my cold fusion plate.

Thanks for your help guys. I purchased the right size Torx Cap socket (4mm I beleive) to try out and it seems that these studs will thread right out and can be replaced with the proper length metric 6mm x 1 bolt. Just waiting on the plate to come back from Nitro Dave's with the connections moved to the pass. side now
