Freezing wheel studs?
« on: Aug 09, 2007, 01:36:13 PM »
Having a hell of a time getting my buddy's wheel studs through the hub.
Will freezing them help? :dunno:
They are 0.004 larger than the hub hole.

along with freezing the studs you can also heat the hub for added ease.  :gap:

We'll be trying again today at noon.
So far we have used a 4lb sledge with a brass drift, and also a 4ton press.

get the brass drift outta the way!
IFS is best kept at ambient temperature in a pile of scrap in the backyard.  When kept under a functioning vehicle, it tends to greatly diminish said vehicle's offroad ability.     -reklund5

Ok, so freezing the wheel studs kinda helped, but not enough where we could hit them in with a hammer or use the 4-ton press. We took them over to our fleet department and borrowed their 30-ton press and got them in. What a PITA.
