You could probably change out one bolt at a time if you think it through...flywheel has to come off though.

Im confused man.

the flywheel bolt is a huge nut, only if you have a lightnened flywheel and counterweight will you need bolts. I reused my flywheel bolts.

Upgrading to stud kit requires machining of the engine parts as these are OVERSIZED studs for adding ridgidity to the engine. Its not a simple process of taking your old ones out and putting a stud kit in.
