Replacing rear wheel stud
Does anybody sell the correct length rear stud for steel drums,
all the ones I see are for cast drums and you need to shorten the shoulder 1/16". I have read that the swaging tool the vendors sell in not up to the job, is that true. I was wondering if I could use something like a wrist pin to do the job. Bob |

Re: Replacing rear wheel stud
Years ago I bought the swage tool from Brattons and I swaged a couple studs with it. I had to use a pickel fork to get the tool off the stud.
I also bought the studs from Bratton's and had to turn a little off with my lathe. I turned the excess off at a 45 degree angle, so the the tool only had to push the higher center part towards the outside for the swage. My 20 ton press just barely was up to the job, but it worked. |

Re: Replacing rear wheel stud
I bought a supply of studs 35 years ago which are the correct length,you need a 40 ton press to do the job easily,the 20 ton Harbor freight won't work that well

Re: Replacing rear wheel stud
I had my auto machine shop press mine for me. They charged $5 apiece and did a good job. He said the tool I supplied him to press (from the vendor) was not hardened and mushed out under the 30 ton press, he used his hardened tool.

Re: Replacing rear wheel stud
All is OK. The stud I thought was bad was ok, the lug nut threads were
stripped out and stuck in the stud threads. I got the stripped threads from the nut out of the stud and all is good. Bob |
