pflaming Posted December 8, 2017 Report Posted December 8, 2017 I want lug nuts front ad back now that I have discs up front. Can I put studs in the rear drums if so how? Quote
greg g Posted December 8, 2017 Report Posted December 8, 2017 Drums off? Grind the rivets, separate the drum from hub.take the drum and hub to a machine shop. Tell them what size studs to want and if you want to keep right and left threads. They will drill out the threads, press in the studs, and drill the drums to clear the studs. Leave the rivets out as the drums will now self center on the studs. Put the hubs back on the axles. Then the drums over the studs. Biggest advantage, next time you need to service the rears,you won't need the puller. Why involve the machine shop? Accuracy of centering for drilling, drilling vertical holes, availability of a hydraulic press. And cuz you need to spend some of that government money... Quote

Adam H P15 D30 Posted December 13, 2017 Report Posted December 13, 2017 Come to the SF Bay Area and get my 49 Dodge rear axle. It has the drums you need and was apart 10 years ago for new brakes etc. FREE Adam Quote
59bisquik Posted December 15, 2017 Report Posted December 15, 2017 (edited) I got the 718-8235 studs from Jegs. 1/2''-20 x 1-1/2" .615'' Knurl. Then grab a 39/64" drill bit. Also as stated above, grind the rivets first and separate the two pieces. Much easier to service brakes when the drums just slide off. Edited December 15, 2017 by 59bisquik Quote

Adam H P15 D30 Posted February 28, 2018 Report Posted February 28, 2018 Still have both the front brakes and drums, also still have the rear axle (drum to drum). I would like to see it go to someone else besides the scrapper, but I've tripped over them 1 too many times and I'm going to send them off to the dumps very soon. Quote
