Replacing wheel studs

[lonesouth]

What does it take to replace the wheel studs in the rear? will i need to pull my axles and take them to get pressed in? I have a disc kit on the way which will take care of the front.

TIA

;D ;D ;D A hammer a drift pin and GOOD aim drive it out and put the new one in and tighten it up that will pull it into place. About 10 min. easy fix. good luck. ;D ;D ;D bill %)

You should be able to pull them in, but I wouldn't do it with the wheel on. Try to use a section of tuping as a spacer between the axle flange and nut. If possible, use an older lug nut to avoid scaring the ones you want to use.

I've seen them pulled on before with the wheel off using a bunch of washers behind the lug nut with an impact wrench. Seemed to work well.

Pull the axle, put the lugnuts back on, rest the axle on something so you can hammer out the old sutds. I also stack some washers and tighten it up uni tthey are pulled all the eay in. Its easier to use washers instead of moving your rim/tire weight around.

When I snapped all 5 stock studs off one time I went to the next size larger, drilled out the rims, front hubs, rear axles, rear drums and sucked them in again. Works great! My aluminum rims were getting cut rather deep by the lugnuts anyway.

sounds too easy! makes sense though. Thanks for the advice. I may also have to go one size bigger, i know i am missing at least one in the rear, and it may have worked loose and enlarged the hole, will see.
