Default 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.

Good Luck! -JRC- :thumbs:

Definitely possible on an '89, cos I replaced all mine with longer studs. Theres room somewhere round there.

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.

This is the way to do it! WE REPLACED ALL THE STUDS WITH 1" LONGER CHROM MOLY STUDS FROM DOUG RIPPIE MOTORSPORTS. iT'S QUITE EASY TO DO!
