I have 35 spline full width rear axle shafts. i did the BCB rear disk conversion and apparantly didnt get the wheel studs seated all the way because the wheel studs backed out and the tire fell off. To get back to camp had to bolt the wheel on which buggered up the wheel and axle shaft stud holes. Got wheel fixed with steel inserts no problem.
Question is can i clock the axle and drill new stud holes in the void between the original holes? How hard is that to do or should i take it to a machine shop for precision indexing 5 on 5.5 bolt pattern? Also what size pilot hole do i drill for the new studs to be pressed into?
Thanks in advance.
