How to get this off????

[BOSS]

Are we thinking of the same thing? What are you trying to acomplish here? I'm thinking you want to remove a stripped stud..

I do want to remove it if I could but I can't man...tried to grab the back of the stud with grips, plumbers wrentch, pipe wrench..nothing will grab that bastard because the lug is on so tight

So that's why im wanting to take the whole stud plate off and replace it with a new one

Ok look, hit it with a hammer from the front and that should push it loose towards the back and then you should be able to pull it out from the back of the axle.

Look at the pic again. There's a TIGHTENED FREAKING ASS nut attached that I was using to pull the stud into the stud plate my man

The back of the stud is smooth, no grip on the backside. I tried grabbing that **** with everything I got.

Just so you can see it, the part you are referring to is in fact part of the axle shaft.

Couple of options to help you take that stud out:

Is the lug nut snugged up to the axle or do you have some room in between the washers/lug and the axle? If you have room, try to get a hack saw or drimmel in there and start chewing away at the stud.

Have you tried getting some vise grips on the front side of the stud to break the lug nut loose?

Hope you got it figured out big BOSS..

I just did....that mf came off and my ass is sweating! Went and bought some bigger grips, muscled that phkr onto the back of the stud and used my big breaker bar...BAM..it came off

Thanks for the pic of the axle, that make sense now - so I'd need a new axle if I couldn't get a bigger stud in..that's wonderful

Ok BOSS, where are you at now. Is the new stud in? Or is the old stud still in place?

Got a bigger vice grip(10) and beat that ***** onto the backside...then gave it a 208lb push on the breaker bar LOL


STILL, this whole thing was:

Got it out finally...thank god. I have 12 front studs too, and they are slightly bigger than the rears. Maybe because of increased pressure and heat? I dunno but I'm going to try and fit one in that rear stud plate because it might be slightly bigger now ..not sure.

Thanks to all you jumped in to help a brotha...damn I love you guys

Would heating up the stud plate with a heat gun do any good in reinstalling a new stud? Would that weaken the stud plate?

My stud hole appears to be slightly bigger in that the original notches from the factory installed stud are not there inside the hole. So I was thinking maybe heating would expand the metal slightly and pull in the stud?



BOSS

 

[chistoso]

That I dont know. I would assume heat would weaken the steel. If the hole is bigger than the stud Knurls you should get a bigger stud (the knurls)

 

[Sepiroth]

Boos, heating the plate you are talking about with a heat gun will do absolutely nothing. IMHO it will not make it anywhere near hot enough.

Why cant you install an OEM like stud?

I can install the OEM stud size, when I line it up it doesn't go straight in so I'll need to pull it in again which is a good thing - meaning the hole in the stud plate isn't too large or anything....

.. it's just that I'm weary of this shit having had it happen on me now, I'd hate to hear a clunk and watch my wheel fly by.

The OEM studs won't press all the way in, they only get about halfway into the stud plate with my cheater bar. I don't want to put anymore into the cheater bar for fear of this hapenning again to be honsest ....

OK. Boss try this.

Use the lug nut youve been using, but turn it around. You want the flat side pressing onto the axle shaft. this will aid in pulling the stud in.

If that doesnt work, use 2 lug nuts but them together and then attempt to draw the stud in.

Take video if you can so i can see what youre doing.
