disc brake wheel stud swedge tool

So what if you worked for Chrysler, and me working professionally at repair shops throughout my lifetime.
That hasn't got a damm thing to do with Kelsey Hayes disc brake rotors and hubs.
You weren't on a KH assembly line putting them together in the first place, now were you?
I can't figure out why your only one of maybe two people that have ever had to "unswedge" a KH, or any other manufacturer hub and rotor assembly.
In the future you should amend your replies to state, IF you ever run across a swedged rotor and hub, you will need to do this, and just not state they all are that way, and you just can't press them out, or whack them out with a BFH.
And you still haven't answered the question how i have gotten every one that i have done throughout the decades, have come apart with a BFH, or under the hydraulic ram on a press.
And I'll bet you a dollar to a rolling doughnut, that this original poster got his out with a BFH.
And probably 99% of everybody else doing this type of repair on their car, got rotors and hubs separated with a BFH, or a hydraulic press.

And how many enthusiasts, or repairman, out there have vernier calipers, or micrometers, in their inventory of tools to do any kind of measurement like that, in the first place?
All that i ever needed, used, were one and two inch micrometers.


Pretty much going to cut to the chase here. There is no procedure to cut the swedge on K-H disc and Hub assemblies.

Then why are you telling me, that I'm in disagreement with, "maintenance manuals" that you have stating the procedure in removing swedged wheel studs, when there is no such information written?
Now you write there is NO information written.

Well then, why don't you and me leave it up to any reader of of this thread to either whack them out with a BFH, or press them out with a hydraulic press, or get a swedge cutting tool.

And what's with this statement me, calling you a liar?
Then your doing the same to me, in me calling you out with your maintenance procedure, wouldn't you say?
