I was trying to replace a stud for my 09 Altima 2.5. didn’t find any space or gap to get the stud out. Tried to spin whatever the position it can be but no luck. Any advice? Anyway that can take that thing off cost effectively?

    Grinding the head of the stud would be enough I bet. Super quick and easy. Removing a cotter pin and a nut will leav OP very far from being able to complete the job

        OP posted that the replacement stud has a notch cut out in order to fit in. What else is in the way, the small bit of backing plate that hasn’t rusted away yet? Cut or bend it. I doubt the knuckle would be in the way
