Default rose joints for rear arb

I'm thinking of replacing the standard drop links on the rear arb with rose joints and a turnbuckle. The mounts on the rear arms are already changed to an M10 stud with a nut on the end. But the connection to the arb I still need to change. How have others done this? It seems like the 'studs' can be knocked/pressure out of the arb. I tried knocking them out with a big hammer, but there is no movement in them upto now. The other thing with that is that it looks like the hole in the arb will be 12 mm then, which means I need to use M12 bolts. In that case the turnbuckle would need a 12 mm rose joint at the top (arb) and a 10 mm at the bottom (suspension arm), which I don't think is possible. So what's best? Thanks in advance.
