They are pressed in and no, they aren't easy to press out. Get a new set of regular nuts, bolts, lock washers. Use some anti-sieze on them so you can get them off later.

If you talking about the three studs on the end of the cat, yes they are pressed in. But they were not hard to take out. I had one of the studs snap on me when I was installing a new exhaust and what I did was soaked the stud for a min or two with wd10 and smacked it with a hammer and it came out. Then after I switched it with a stud off my integra cat that I had laying around.

That is what I thought. I was thinking about going to napa and buying wheel studs that are the same size. Do you think they will work? I called honda and they wanted 14 bucks a bolt. If I remember I can get wheel stem bolts for a few bucks each. Oh, and thanks for the advice on the anti-sieze, that stuff is magical. Thanks for the help fellas.

Get the nuts, bolts and lock washers from Home Depot. They don't have to be of automotive origin. There's no pixie dust on 'em.
