The studs look like M8 x 1.25 thread?
- How hard are they to remove?
- Will they come out with the engine in the frame? The inside one on the back cylinder looks quite challenging.
I think that they might be..
In order,
depends how bad they are, on mine they were so corroded that the studs on 3 came out with the nuts. The other was replaced as it was getting a bit thin and looked like a 3yr old could snap it.
Not the easiest at the rear but do-able. It's easier putting them back than getting them off.
Motor casings paint .. PIA best done with the motor out so you can clean it up properly and prime. I've always used an acid etch primer on this, usually weld through only because I usually have a few cans on hand BUT anything that will stick to bare cleaned metals.
