Thanks for the help. Heat and a stud remover did the job!
Now my Dynon 180 tach is staying at Zero. Any suggestions?
I?ll start another thread.

I am stepping into the thread with the question that naturally follows: the shorter stud installation. Which tool do you use to torque this rounded stud (2 bolts trick?), which value and which Loctite if any?
Thank you for your help

Double nut to install and use red locktite on the threads that go into the case. These studs don’t bottom out, so if there is a small unthreaded space between the case threads and the nut threads, just run it down to the unthreaded point and you’re done.

Stud Extractor from Advance Auto Parts
If you don't have time to wait for delivery and have an Advance Auto Parts nearby, get this one:
https://shop.advanceautoparts.com/p/...203/11931907-P
I used it to remove the studs that held the carburetor to the sump when I replaced the carb with the AFP fuel servo. It was so easy it almost felt like cheating.

so if I understand, I shouldn't worry if I have very little torque when I get to the desired clearance? One relies on the cured Loctite to provide the proper counter torque?

The locktite keeps the fastener from vibrating loose, or backing out when you loosen the nut when adjusting the mag, but the torque (thread stretch) is provided by torque applied to the nut/lock washer when fastening the mag to the engine. The nut/stud combination acts just like a bolt.
