1. How should the studs be removed? Are they worth saving? If not, removal isn't an issue.

2. Recommendations for stud replacement (e.g., stud type and where to purchase)?

3. Recommendations for bolts to head replacement (e.g., bolt type and where to purchase)?

4. I will be adding the heat shield for the stove pipe. What bolt/hardware is used for mounting the heat shield, and are these parts available?

Sorry for all the questions. New to me and want to get it right. Thank you.
