---Yes, they do come out, sorry I didn't get that off to you earlier.

---If your new pump doesn't have them, I would say yes. Haven't needed to 
buy a new* pump yet, so the studs have always been there.

---A leak is small compared to a damaged housing. You can always rebuild the 
pump yourself some time in the future and save the $20-$30.oo that it might 
cost later in life to buy one. I will never agree to mangling a part that 
you might need in the future. Surely it comes off, you just need another cup 
of coffee.
