Default Remove rear wheel studs.

What tool is used to safely remove the rear wheel studs ?.

one broke today so plan on replacing all of them. Not sure yet if I need to remove the Rear wheel bearing assembly to complete the job,

but I assume a big hammer is not the best method to remove the studs.

Anyone have pictures of a tool that works for the C3 rear wheels ?

Also anyone know a part # for ARP brand wheel stubs if they make them. Didn't find anything the matches what I believe is the correct size.
7/16-20, .475" Knurl, 1-3/4 In. Length

I used a ball joint tool, however the axle was out. Should work with axle installed.

I installed ARP studs, ARP 100-7701 https://arp-bolts.com/kits/arpkit-de...hp?RecordID=61
They are 3" and the knurl is slightly larger.

The original size studs (non ARP) are also available from several suppliers.

That tool should work while on the car. Thanks....

Looking to install factory length studs. Prefer ARP Products, but if they don't make them, I see NAPA has factory size studs.
