kencombs Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 It's not a P15 or D24, but it is a Chrysler product with wheel bolts. I want to change my 56 1/2 ton to studs. Makes using later alloy wheels a lot easier. anyone have a easy way to do that? Like studs that are threaded LH to fit the hub and RH to take the 'normal' alloy nuts. This for the left side, rights are easy, just use the proper grade eight bolts to cut studs and use lots of threadlocker. I guess drilling out the hubs to take new press in studs is always an option, but I like easy better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not only the easy way, but the safe way too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teardrop puller Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 Being one that has lost a wheel on a mountain road, I would not try any funny stuff. Have the drums drilled out by a machine shop and studs pressed in. My 2cents worth kai Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Saraceno Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 My '35 had the bolts replaced with studs. They have a flat head with an allen insert to tighten them up. I assume they are made for this situation because when I first got the car, I brought it to my mechanic for a "look-see" and he replaced several of them (the reason now I can't remember). I believe they are just held in with lock tight as one came loose once when I was putting the nuts back on. I had to take the whole hub off to re-tighten them from the inside.

kencombs Posted September 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2007 I guess I must be missing something important because of the cautions against using screw in studs. What is the risk in using a grade eight screw stud as compared to a press in stud? Thanks for the comments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the comments. Shouldn't be any problem at all, providing you can find some lefthand threaded ones! Marty, using pressed in studs ...............
