That's the wrong stud or its installed incorrectly or possibly both.

And please stop using rtv where its not needed.

1) Take them out and use bolts.
2) Put a die on the end and cut the threads further down.
3) Put a shit load of washers on the end (not recommended but I've done worse).
 
Thanks for the heads up on RTV, I thought it was necesary.

Whats the best course of action to remove the studs?

If you use the right gaskets the outside one comes with a built in bead of it. The inside and outside gaskets are different. No rtv needed. Also two nuts backing the stud out is the way to go. :thumb:
