I normally fit the nut on ( to protect the thread ) then give them a few firm taps with the hammer and they should tap straight through.

They look like they're screwed in and peened over at the back which is the cross on the end of the stud i'm guessing.
If the studs are scrap, then I'd centre punch the back of the stud and drill them out slightly smaller than the stud dia, that way they should come loose then you'll find out if they're splined or threaded in.

yeah, as described above, they're basically rivetted in. quite common on pre-war cars (my rover p2 axle is like this), but a PITA as you destroy em to get em out.

dez,
once removed would normal studs fit? (7/16")
as the hub itself is in 2 parts and not that thick.
cheers chris.

i guess you want to use standard small ford 7/16" press-in studs? providing you can drill it to the correct size, and the back surface is flat for them to seat on (not sloped/tapered/etc.) then yes thatll be fine.

well they're out, drilled the peened over bit, crank the molegrips on and they came undone realy easy!!!!  once drilled the studs will sit lovely, as theres plenty of meat there, also flat. not got a picture of the back. (doh!!!)  cheers everyone. |
