The PO of my 700S broke a handful of studs and drilled/tapped some larger ones in there. This sounds like a great idea until you realize that the holes in the collars that slide over the studs won't accommodate a larger diameter stud and you find yourself drying to drill them out. If you take this approach, take my advice, make sure the collar is drilled out enough to *easily* slide on/off the stud. If you have to force it you'll just smush the soft aluminum collar down into the threads of the hardened steel stud and nothing shy of the Hand of God will ever get that collar off again.
