Heater Box to Firewall Stud Replacement on a 63

[Monte M.]

I have a few of the heater box to firewall studs broken on a 63. Before I get into it I figured I would ask you guys if there are any tricks to getting the new ones in. I know there is not much access to the back side of a few of them. Is this a problem at all?

My guess is that it can not be that difficult, but I would rather ask before umping in.

Are they just pressed in and held by the star clip that comes in the package?

I did read Jean-Marc's thread, but I still had a few questions.

Thanks guys,

[Harry S.]

If the tab on the heater box that holds the stud is broken off then you need to remove the box from the car and start some fiberglass repair. Else, press them in with the clip.
