Replacing studs on K-H setup?
I tried to drive my studies out when replacing rotors but didn't have any luck so I took them to a machine shop to have the old studs pressed out and new ones pressed on with the new rotors. I think he charged $32 for all.
You'll need to pull the dust cap off, then the cotter pin. Remove nut, and washer. You'll see the outer wheel bearing come loose. Slide the rotor off.
Best to use the Field Service Manual to put it all back. Make sure all bearings are good, it's a good time to replace them if you see any scarring or scorching. Keep dirt out of it and repack the outer bearing with grease. Then put it all together. Can't remember exactly, but the FSM says to tighten the spindle nut while turning the wheel to 7 ft lbs (?). After a while you get the feel to tighten enough but not too much. FSM also says to just coat the inside of the dust cover with grease, not to fill it.
