Answer
They should be right handed but look at the end of the stud. If they are left handed there should be an "L" stamped on it. If there is a left handed thread it should be only on the left side of the car. It might take a little heat to loosen them. A hand held propane torch will not provide enough heat it will take an oxy accetelyne and a big wrench.
