Wheel Stud Repair

- I converted my front drum brakes to disc brakes by using a 1965 Thunderbird's front hub and spindle. When I pressed the new wheel studs into the hub, they wouldn't hold. I bought another set and they did the same thing. Watch and see how I get this fixed.

Hello Matt. Another great video. I had to go look at my progress photos to make sure I mounted the leaf spring mounts properly. Lol. Mine are good. Alvin sure has a keen eye. It's why I use my disassembly photos to see how things are supposed to go. Interesting issue with the hub/lug bolts. Nice going.

Good to hear from you George. Unfortunately I didn't have anything from taking them apart. You're right though, Alvin does have a good eye to catch those things.
Great job Matt, I haven't had to replace any studs "Yet", but now I have options just in case I run into the same issue you did.
Thanks for the video, and btw...you are right, making the videos is a big distraction from the task at hand.
Hello Alvin. We miss not seeing your progress.

@@servicetechnician3264 hey George, I've been traveling since the beginning of January, it was an unexpected trip, but sometimes those are the best kind! 🏜️
I'm planning to be back home by February 1st...then back on the convertible!
@@J_R_Shop Glad to hear. Hope your trip was for pleasure.
@@servicetechnician3264 oh yes, it is for pleasure...and I've been enjoying every day of it! 😎
Nice work figuring out that conundrum! It really is a strange way they put those front hubs together isn't it? I guess I got lucky when I bought my studs because they worked fine.
Looking forward to your next installment.
Thanks. If that didn't work then I was going get the welder out.. lol
looks good
Surprised you didn't use the drill press for those Matt
I really should have. I don't have one and I would've had to bring them to my dads to use his. I decided to be careful and drill them by hand. I got lucky and it worked out. The press would have been much easier and less.chance of error for sure.
A spot or two of 70 series weld in the hub holes followed by a die grinder can solve this issue in many cases. Did you try to get factory studs ? They would probably be loose but may have the right spline length.
I did try to find new original studs and I wasn't able to find them. Unfortunately the new studs they make just wouldn't hold. thought about welding and then cleaning up the hole but decided to go this rought.
@@Exit45Restorations on dually one ton trucks the factory studs are the only way to go but I haven't tried to get the old ones lately. The dormans used to break. On my jeeps a spot of weld only in the hub hole has worked well. Not welding on the stud just to be clear. If your way works good it's good to know. Touchy problem.
@johndoe43 The biggest issue with my way is to be sure the hole is reamed out straight or you could run into issues. Good discussion though on this though. Always learning
@@Exit45Restorations right. They can't be very far off. Thanks for putting this fix out there. I probably would not have thought about it.
So dodge stud pattern for wheels now or is ford size wheels going to fit over the fat stud or is the thread size the same as the old ones 😊
The threads are the only part the exstends from the hub and it is the same size. 1/2 20. Tires are on it and works great.
