they are metric i believe. give them a call at import car parts. I got a set of manifold studs from them a while back so they should be able to tell you what size they are

just take it real easy and slow. wind it in an 8th of a turn at a time and then back out, then an 8th more and back out again. if you feel any more resistance than usualy, wind it right out n spray with WD40 to clean out any crap. once you have done 2 complete revolutions, wind it completely out anyways and s[ray with WD40 to dislodge any crap.
patience is the key
