Lets talk studs
I snapped off three studs and now I have to replace them. I punched out the old ones and went to install the new ones and they are too thick.
I have an older Dynatrac 60 rear axle. The studs are actually thinner than the stock studs. Now I don't know how to buy new ones. I went to Napa, they tried to measure the old one and search like that but was unsuccessful. Now I don't know to buy new ones.
Any advice?

You can pull them into place. First time I tried using a couple washers and the wheel lug nut, but the washers bent. A tool like this made life a lot easier ...

If one uses this tool they have to ensure as they tighten they hammer the back flange on the stud. It HAS to be 100% seated or it will come loose with road flexing. I use a press or, in a pinch, I use my 3lb hammer on my 1895 casted anvil that has a hole for horseshoes on the edge. Anvil is 150lbs. Poke the stud down that hole and the edge location allows for the installed studs to overhang off the anvil.
