Remove 308 crankshaft studs with crank in engine...

Quick question...

Can the crankshaft studs be removed with the crank in the engine?

If I have to cut them for clearance that's fine, but I can't recall how much room there is between the crank flange and block. I'll need to remove them so I can drill-tap my crank when I'm ready for my TH400 adapter setup.

    Hi I take it we are discussing the six crank studs with the rear main bearing being in place- the studs normally attach either the Hydro plate or std flywheel. On my Hornet engine on a stand the clearance is inadequate for removal - too long w/o crank removal from block - can supply photo if you like. I plan std trans for it later. Gert
