Yeah...what a blast from the past, eh?
Ordered a couple of sets of these studs for the money pit from the GM online for 76 cents/stud. May prove handy in the future.
Noticed some use copper and other SS nuts together with a flat washer. Anything else to know on this option?

Timely bump. I just bought a set of the Saturn studs for $.62 a piece. They are discontinued now, so who knows how much longer there will be inventory. If anyone needs any, I can get them cheaper than anyone else can (I am a factory GM parts guy)

I bought 2 sets of the Saturn studs. Once I got them, I thought they were external torx, so I ordered a snap-on socket (I think it was E6 or something). It doesn't fit on right. I think it just takes a plain socket, probably 5mm like Eddie said.
I used anti-seize.

I believe that is correct .. I bought the whole set of torx sockets, but a 5mm socket seemed to work also
Best regards

Hey! We need to do another GTG, my black 951 will be roadworthy soon!
BTW I went to 2 local GM dealers and neither could get the studs. I found them online, and this was last year.

I stumbled across another part number whilst billing out a Duramax job today. The stud is stainless steel, overall length of 47mm with a proper torx end. The stud side has 13mm of threads and the nut side has 22mm of the thread.
GM part # is 1161143 with a list of $2.61, wholesales at $1.96 each per GM.
