cef2lion Posted November 27, 2022 Report Share Posted November 27, 2022 (edited) On a 1952 Coronet. A few wheel studs are stripped. Looking to switch drivers side to right hand thread in the process. Trying to locate proper replacements. I pressed one out on the front drum using a press a backing the drum behind the stud. Studs are non serrated. Closest I have found are Dorman 610-036 but specs don’t match up. Specs on stud I removed. Head diameter - .9in Knurl Diameter - .63in Shoulder length - .5in Thread diameter - .5in Thread length - .9in Stud length - 1.57in Edited November 28, 2022 by cef2lion Updated Knurl Diameter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rallyace Posted November 27, 2022 Report Share Posted November 27, 2022 I am having a bit of difficulty understanding the dimensions of your existing stud. The head and knurl are both 0.9"? If you are calling the knurl the section between the head and the thread, they are not both the same dimension in the photo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allbizz49 Posted November 27, 2022 Report Share Posted November 27, 2022 Take it to an auto parts store and match it up. Originally it would have been bolts, not studs. At least all of my old Mopars are bolts Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dodgeb4ya Posted November 28, 2022 Report Share Posted November 28, 2022 The original 1951/52 Dodge D42 cars all used studs... Dodge cars for several years used only studs on their drum/hub assemblies. MoPar OE Part# Rt...687901 L... 687902 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just buy a replacement with knurling and drill or ream the hole to match. The last ones I bought were from a trailer parts store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cef2lion Posted November 28, 2022 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2022 Andy Bernbaum has them on there site under wheel section for a 52 Dodge. Problem being they are $8 per plus $3 per nut. Adds up quick replacing the entire drivers side plus a few that are bad on on the passenger side. Then again its the only source so far. Was hoping to find another source at a better price. Waiting to hear from the guy I got a NOS heater core from recently. Another option I guess is to do as suggested. Drill and press in serrated ones.

LeRoy Posted December 15, 2022 Report Share Posted December 15, 2022 I just took one of the old studs to the local parts store and matched them up as closely as possible (went with all right hand threads and new nuts) pressed them in and all is well.
