Shop: McMaster Carr binding studs & footbraces

I ordered and received a package of the nifty stainless steel binding studs to use with my Yakima footbrace rails. The studs thread through the rails just fine.

However, I'm puzzled as to how the rails can be installed and removed when the studs are epoxied onto the hull interior. I could get around the installation problem by threading the studs through the rail first before epoxying the disc-like bottom to the hull. But what if I want to remove the rail(s) later? With the normal through-the-hull bolts, unbolting would be no problem. With the binding studs, it looks like the rail is in place permanently.

Any ideas how to allow rail removal without cutting anything off?

If only the disc part could be unscrewed from the post...
