[axled89]

what elevation are you at there??

[mattlosch]

it was 3750 but we went up higher than that

[86bobbedtoy]

I miss the snow

[mattlosch]

i sheared off all my studs that hold the aluminum cover that holds where you lock in the hubs at.. the ones with the cone washers.. just on one side.. ... what should i do??

[89sastoyo]

There are a few differen't things. People have write ups on here somewhere but they were wayy wayy old so i wouldnt know how to go about finding them. But you can drill them out bigger and tap them drill out the hub to eliminate the cone washers. I wouldnt go that route my coods did he has the build on here witht he datsun and they last its just a lot of work. I would just pull the old ones out and buy new studs cones and nuts and check the aluminum part to make sure its not ovaled out then just install all new. I would put a touch of locktite on there or just check them every trip. The reason they break is because they get loose which ruins the design of the cone washer and it gets slop which alows more of a shock load towards the bolt ya know?

[TIMS89CRAWLER]

you can try an easy out too

[89sastoyo]

yeah thats what I meant when i said pull them out haha. I learned a trick to though just tack nuts to them if the easy out doesnt work and you can just pull em out easy

[TIMS89CRAWLER]

[toyotanner]

you might still be able to get it even if there not flush... maybe

its worth a try i've got some broken studs out of some messed up places lol

[mattlosch]

lol i will try it.. worth a shot at least.. i just need to find some studs asap.. anyone have ideas?? is a ifs set up use the same studs?

[83 Crawler]

im pretty sure they are.. but don't quot me on that

[mattlosch]

i might try to go get some at u-pull-it tomorrow.. i know they have some ifs trucks out there and i bet these are still intact...... worth a shot i gues... i want to get it out and wheeling this weekend

[83 Crawler]

[mattlosch]

lkq out in damaskas

[83 Crawler]

 do they have any first gens? or ifs rear axles?

[mattlosch]

[HDcruiser]

i might try to go get some at u-pull-it tomorrow.. i know they have some ifs trucks out there and i bet these are still intact...... worth a shot i gues... i want to get it out and wheeling this weekend

FYI, i allways have better luck using left handed drill bits. As long as your drill has reverse the drill bits seem to work better. I bought mine off a tool truck, but i think Harbor freight should have them as well. Just an idea.

[HDcruiser]

I work for Frito lay as a mechanic and we allways have problems with the 5.7 exhaust manifold bolts breaking in the cylinder head. 80% of the time i can remove and broken bolt with a left hand drill bit. Good luck Bro.

[83 Crawler]

o sick! how much do you think they will charge for the hole thing?

[Halladay]

[mattlosch]

[mattlosch]
