Hello,
My fork has two studs for mounting cantilever brakes (at least that's what I think those silver studs are). I dont need them, is it possible to remove those?
Thanks

If there’s a flat section at the bottom of the silver section you should be able to remove them with a wrench. You might want to fill the hole with a bolt to keep the threads nice if you ever want to put the posts back in.
I used a small pipe wrench. I was informed, here, that the “right way” is to heat the stud to soften the red thread locker, then use a small wrench on the flats at the base. I was fine with the pipe wrench, since I didn’t mind its bite destroying the stud surface.
it looks like yours have flat spots at the base to put a wrench
Most likely 10mm wrench. Apply heat, because the ones I had in my frame were secured with green loctite.
