Question riser bolt removal

hi all hope everyone is well
i have just purchased a set of riser extenders for my fat bob 2019 and have to remove the old bolts to fit the risers and extentions on
the issue is that the risers hava a threaded bar that goes down through the top yolk which i need to remove as the new bolts go in from underneath
what is the best way to remove the studs from the risers
many thanks

@badfluffydog I have moved this thread from the Welcome section to the 2018+ Softail Models section as you will get better responses to your question in this section.
The Welcome section is more for introducing yourself & letting other forum members know what Harley Davidson you own. Please feel free to post a new thread back in the Welcome area to introduce yourself.

Vise grips. If you screw up the threads on the studs not a big deal if you're not going to reuse them.
