ggdad1951 Posted April 28, 2013 Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 on mine, I had to pound out the lug studs, but I have the larger hubs than most for the one ton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merle Coggins Posted April 28, 2013 Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 I think they're rivited together. You'd have to grind off the rivits and drive them out to seperate the two pieces. Merle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scruffy49 Posted April 28, 2013 Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 Correct, riveted. Angle grinder to get rid of the rivet heads, or drill them off and then use a punch to remove the rivet shanks. At least Pilot House trucks the drum is on top of the hub, my Sweptline the hub is over the drum... Convert the hubs to modern lug stud/nut while it is apart. Much more user friendly, especially if you don't run factory rims with locator peg holes. And it gets rid of the driver side being reverse threaded, so the apes on the impact guns won't break off a stud when they don't listen to you...
