I got new front drums. How do you transfer the wheel studs from the old drum to the new drum. It looks like the studs are part of a ring assembly.
may want to get new ...1/2"x 20 ...if not...put the lugnut on the stud. don't thread it past the end of the stud...hit with BFH. repeat for each stud... ...:Handshake...
They are only a buck or two each at AutoZone, or other local auto parts store. They are just pressed in. So BFH them until they appear seated all the way in. May want to check lug nut torque after you drive 20 miles or so, as they may seat a little more when you put your wheel on and drive on them a bit.
Not any hammer, but a Big F'N Hammmer. You got new drums, why are you replacing the studs? New studs are cheap at AutoZone...good luck. Don
New drums don't come with the center hub assembly...which needs to be removed from the old drum. I imagine this is what you are talking about. Put a lug nut on each lug. Take a BFH and go around hitting each lug lut until the entire hub (as an assembly) comes out. I have always found this very difficult and usually take it to a local mechanic and have them do it. You really have to hit it HARD!! (P.S. That's what she said )
short handled BFH's are the best. I just broke one last night doing my manual steering conversion. Went out today and bought a brand new one to beat things with. Man I love BFH's
man, I asked a simple question about front drums when I cam on this board, and I was ripped a new one, glad you had a better response than I did 3 or 4 years back sorry for the off topic
It was. I thought it was like ball pein hammer or something didnt realize BFH was such a technical term. At least I understand that language better
One of my buddies says that all the time. I've got a 5 lb. Kobalt BFH with a nice real cherry wood handle on it. When I put new drums on the '72 a couple of years ago, I took a piece of 2x4, layed it on top of where the bearing goes in in the center. One good whack, and the hub dropped right out.
