After the failed effort of removing the studs from the threaded side, grinding the heads of the studs and hammering them through from the other side was next.
My Dad offered to make the new flange, and save me the trouble. I was quick to agree.
One stud was completely rusted through, causing a leak.
They looked like rotted bolt heads.
But, after Dad pointed out what should have been obvious to me, I realized they were studs.
Strange that all the diagrams I have found show flanges with holes for bolts. Oh well.
I appreciate everyone's input, and confirming that they are studs.
I also apollogize for the thread jack, I didn't mean to stray from the OP's topic.

Thats all cool! I still have another to replace and all these comments are very helpful to all. Sooner or later there will be others that will definitely go through this process.
