wheel stud help
« on: May 23, 2011, 05:37:13 AM »
Ok I'm going to try and paint you guys a picture. I have the hub assembly off with a rotor and wheel spacer attached via 1 wheel stud. That stud, the splines are stripped and nut is on, counter sunk in wheel spacer. How do I get the stud out?  I've tried vise grips but head of the stud spins out. Let's hear your ideas

what parts are you trying to save?

have you tried to grind the back of the stud off

if you can't get the grinder in there with it assembled you can force the unit bearing apart it will be easy to get the grinder in there and grind the shoulder off

or if your only trying to save the spacer then weld the stud to the back of the unit bearing!

That's if you have a welder!

If you weld it, good luck replacing it if it ever bends, breaks, or wears out!  Cut or grind the bugger!
