Re: Wheel Studs - Oversized Knurl ??

[Joseph Bitterman <furyrestored@xxxxxxxxx>]

i also pressed mine out when switching over to all rh lugs using a deep impact socket on the bottom to keep from warping the drum didnt know any better had a heck of a time pressing them out and the replacement studs that napa gave me then fit loosely whoops! so i took them back and they gave me some with a larger shank that pressed in the holes tightly and i have had no problems since knowing now what i do i would have cut them off flush and then pressed them out oh well live and learn
