ranchracer Posted April 17, 2014 Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 So I've got the rear drum off my '48 B1FA 1 1/2 ton and removed the inner nuts from the broken wheel studs. Now I need to get the old studs out and the new studs in. I know in a separate post someone mentioned pressing them out, but I don't have a press. Is there any other way to SAFELY get these out without damaging the hub or drum? Or am I better off searching for a local shop that can do it for me? Thanks.

TodFitch Posted April 17, 2014 Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 If you don't have a press then I'd suggest having a machine shop do it for you. Can't cost that much for the shop labor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MBF Posted April 18, 2014 Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 I've backed up the drum and worked them out with a hammer and a drift, but I think now I'd do it with a press. Whatever you do, the hub should be backed up before you try to remove them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
