yes. but line the studs back up so that they wont cut new grooves when you put them back in. also be very careful when pushing them out as if you were to damage the threads, they will never start again.

A drift is a kind of punch, special in that is is a uniform cylinder,
just slightly smaller than the target in diameter,
and is usually "home-made" from rod stock or tie-rods.
Its function is just as the name implies, to drift, not drive,
an interior part along its path intending slower or shorter movement.

Allows for sudden application of force so target reacts before surrounding parts.
Makes an excellent projectile when hammer applies unintended force to phalanges.

Ok, Thanks eveyone. I starting to think my best bet(easiest) is to remove the wheel to pop out the studs. The axle nut and the four bearing bolts and disconnect any sensor and the wheel comes off.? Correct me if I am wrong. Thanks

OK(thanks Brad) sorry i was thinking bearing, remove tire and wheel, remove caliper, knock studs loose, remove rotor, install new rotor, reinstall studs as suggested(line the grooves up). put the lug nuts on backwards and draw the studs up. I prefer to set the studs without the wheel because it is easier to confirm they are pulled thru all the way. reinstall the caliper, reinstall tire and wheel

Yup gonna have to remove the rotor hub assy from the truck,....);

leolkfrm · 03-04-2009, 04:06 PM

hey stump the rotor should be notched to remove it without pulling the bearing

stumpuller454 · 03-04-2009, 07:41 PM

Yeah but not you can`t get the studs out if its on the truck right? Unless i`m missing a sweet trick! LOL

i've been able to put studs in without removing hubs by grinding the head flat with the threads in one section. takes practice but it can be done.
