Most likey to be M10x1.25 proving they are original studs. Some replacement studs were M10x1.5 so remove them and measure the thread pitch.

hallo.

I did it last month it doesn't matter what kit helicoils you order as long it is a m10. what does mater is te tap you use. the treat isn't 1.5 that i know for sure. but i did all the studs and order 6 new and used 1.5 studs.

I think it is 1.25 indeed but before you take it all of torqeu the rest of the bolts to fac. specs. then you can see if you need to do more then those 2.
just a tip.
