Don't pound them out, just repalce the nuts that are missing. In the 40+ years I've been doing machine work I've seen many bearing failures vs bolt failures. Replacing bolts without checking or resizing can cause failure, bearing failure. The center will change on the bolt by a little and shift the cap if you replace the bolts without resizing. ARP recomends you resize when you replace bolts. It is in the directions you receive when you buy their bolts. OH, thats right guys (we) don't read directions. :~) You are dealing with very small numbers on rod roundness and size. It can get nasty quick.
