Default Rotating Strut Hats .1 GT3

I know lots of RLs have rotated the front strut hats to gain more negative camber. How do you move the top studs to the different holes in the hat??
Right in the middle of this so any help would be simply fantastic!

Thanks

They are tapped out. The shank is knurled.

Easily done with a vice with minimal force. Better than tapping coz you don't want to risk bending the strut tops.

Perfect, thanks. I ended up welding a large nut on the swivel end of a c-clamp and pressed them out while in the car. Voila.......3 degrees of negative. Life is good.
