Does anyone know what is the process to replace the wheel studs on an S80 hijet with longer studs? or studs with a wider knurl? the stock stud has a M10 (10mm) x 1.25 pattern. The length is about 33mm and i think its a 10.5mm knurl width im looking to replace them with something around 45-50mm but im having trouble finding a set in that pattern. i know the first gen rx7's came with a 46mm stud but it is 12mm x 1.50. the knurl width is about 12.7mm can these be pressed in without cracking the hub? thanks, Sonny
Tap one of your old studs out and head to a Napa store. They can measure it get you replacements. I have some new in the package Daihatsu ones if you want the part number.
i already tried napa and autozone and pepboys and o'rielly auto parts.. they studs they carry in m10x1.25 is only 29mm long. i need it to be atleast 40 because im putting some mag wheels on my truck.
yeah, great fun had with zippy at the counter ask to see the selection in back....they always let me go look myself get something as close to the diameter as the press in part and then as long as possible you will have to drill out your hubs use many bits ans gradually step up the diameter of the hole or you will wallow out the hole and the stud will not press fit then you have to tack weld the damn thin in
tack welding it in is a pretty good idea.. if i do that i wont have to worry about knurling or anything..
yeah thats what i plan on doing.. if its tight enough, i might leave it like that.. if not i'll weld them a bit it only needs to hold up for a while anyways. i might be replacing my rear end soon.
