Wheel Stud Bolt Question?
Is it possible to press out a broken rear stud bolt on an '86 without removing the emergency brake shoe assembly? I'm trying to figure out a spot that I can do this but I can't seem to find the room I need. Thanks for any help.

Cut the stud down with a hacksaw. Then punch out the remainder... Next step is pulling the new stud through.

You should be able to rotate the spindle to a point where the stud can come out the back. Then give it 2-3 whacks with a 3lb hammer and it's out. Pull the new one in with a lug nut and some stacked washers.
