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?

 

Aww! I thought you were getting ready to talk about me!

 

Call Dynatrac. They would know what studs they used.

 

I am planning on calling them this week. I was just hoping someone here knew which lug they were so that I could keep going this weekend.

 

Studs press in as well. Hard to get them in correct with a hammer.

 

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.

 

Still making horseshoes?

 

you can always hit them from the back side with an air hammer to ensure their seated
