Removing swage wheel studs- Plan "B"
Wanting to install longer wheel studs for the Centerline wheels
got a drill press
sawzall
round nose punch and
a HAMMER
plan "B"
used the old lug nuts to locate the center of the stud
by using a drill bit that just fits inside the lug nut
used a 5/16" bit
after drilling to just below the drum height
I cut the studs off
( didn't want to spend all day drilling)
The pilot hole is still there (reason for drilling deep enough)
next was to use a 7/16" drill bit to drill just to the depth/edge of the drum
support the back side
grab the punch and hammer
out they come
