MorganM Posted August 27, 2004 Share Posted August 27, 2004 Note Topic --^ I dont want to use too large of a bit. There needs to be some metal for the stud splines to dig into; right? So what size should I use to drill out the new stud holes on my hubs? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubSandRail Posted August 27, 2004 Share Posted August 27, 2004 9/16 is too large, I used 17/32 and it was too small. I ended up drilling the 17/32 holes, then wobbling the hub around a little to hog out a little more material, and was able to pull the studs in with an impact driver. Take the time to harvest extra lug nuts, and after using one to drive in a stud, throw it away. Otherwise you will end up stripping out the threads and starting over. Lug nuts are cheap at the junkyard. If you can find one, I suppose 33/64 is the right size. It probably corresponds to some metric size that is equally expensive and hard to find.
