Whilst giving my ZF it's much needed cleaning for a repaint, I was working
on the tail end and noticed that two of the studs/bolts were missing.  From
the two longer studs at the top of the back, they are the one directly to
the right of those two, and the third one down on the left of those two.

The hole on the left is about 3/4" deep, the one on the right probably about
1 1/4", and when I shine a flashlight down them, I can see the bottom and
what looks disgustingly like a sheared-off bolt.

I'm going to assume that there should be no empty holes on the end plate, so
my real question would be just how much is probably involved in removing the
broken studs so I can replace them.

We have a ZF guy in the area who can do it if the end plate needs to come
completely off.

Thanks in advance
