Camloc studs have 3 parts - the stud, the collar and retention ring. In order to fit my cowl, I inserted the studs in the collars but never put the retention rings on. This has worked well during cowl fitting.
Now I'm ready to put the collar/studs in and leave them in - at least until it's time to get the plane painted. However, I now realize that you're suppose to put the collars in, then install the rings and put the studs in last. I tried to get the stud out of the collar but it sure isn't easy.
So is there a way to get the stud out of the collar? Also, once the retainer rings are installed, can they be removed when it comes time to paint?
