5. Replaced the threaded stud-that went smoothly, and took about 2 minutes with a heat gun and some ViseGrips. ..........:

Thanks for the info on the studs for the oil filter cover.
One of them on my RX3 is worn down at the point where it enters the engine block, and the threads are nearly stripped.
I was wondering if they could be replaced before they break off.
