The studs area available at any parts store. I replaced some of mine a couple months ago. PITA but it's certainly do-able

Ok anti seize compund? Like wd40 or am i off base here?

Just like it says, ask for "antisieze" or "never sieze" at the parts counter. It's a thick paste and comes in little tins - just smear some on the bolt before re-assembly. You should do this with any bolt you take off the car btw, makes taking it off the next time so much easier. WD-40 wont work.

Take one of your bolts off and go to an autoparts store. They should be able to match up the bolt with some aftermarket ones.
