Default Need HELP ASAP/ Rear wheel studs

For the life of me I can't find a DIY with pics on how to change rear wheel studs using the short cut method of drilling the backing plate . I searched the forum but have not found any clear instructions on where to drill and so forth. If anyone has pics and instructions from A to B it would be much appreciated!!!

Ya, found it but I was looking for the drill out method with instructions and pics. Just want to make sure I don't drill in an area where I'm not suppose to. Worse comes to worse I'll use the "proper" method and follow the instructions listed to completely remove the hub.

Thanks.

Hi STALION;
Use the search feature again & check the all the articles on that page. I clicked on one that had a step by step procedure with pictures. I don't remember who the author was, but it was before Bill Dearborn's write up.

Hey Rob, thanks for chiming in. I did the change last night using the "drill backing plate" method. Worked ok, but a little more involved then I thought.

Cheers

Hi There;
Glad to hear you have the problem fixed. A little more involved isn't that always the case? It certainly was as an aircraft technician.
