but why does the kit have 4 spacers and 4 longer bolts?

They figure you don't mind doing a bit of cursing when lining it back up....

Do you not understand what a stud is?

The nut is welded inside the frame and a piece of threaded rod is put in.

You can just grab it and unscrew it from the bottom.

There is a proper tool for removing these studs.

I have been saying this for days. Here is a link on doing the job with photos of the right tool.

Earth to herman. Its not that complex. We gave you animated stuff of how the nut serts work. Im thinking you need to have this done by someone more familiar with a socket set. KH
