Message	it is knurled and molded in (pressed). It will be semi-destructive, but you can use any sort of adhesive compound to secure the new stud in place and be done. Just be sure not to overtorque it when you install it, press the light in with a gloved hand to get all the sealing ring to stick, lightly tighten, press, repeat. ------------------------------------------------------------------ 1992 300ZX NA 5 Sp KH6 (Dead) 1990 300ZX NA Auto 2+2 732 (Dead) 1991 300ZX TT 5 Sp TH1 (Stock) 1990 300ZX TT 5 Sp KH6 (Stock Turbos) (Est. 400 HP) 1990 300ZX TT 5 Sp 326 (GT600R) (Est. 600 HP) 2004 G35 Sport 6MT (DD) 2008 Honda Civic (DD) 2014 Nissan Murano (DD) 1969 Chevy C10 383/TH350 (Toy) 1969 Chevelle LS1/T56 (Toy)

Heat it and pull then replace.
