Re: Trashed my wheel studs at the track need help

Damn spell check.... yes, google is a wonderful thing... boy did we ever get off topic.

So we have established that beating a stud out with the hub installed on the car or in any other way that would put any type of load on the bearings or race is probably a bad idea. Using a press to remove and install the stud would be ideal.

If you do decide to attempt the hammer method... the worst that could happen is you end up replacing the hub if the bearings or ABS sensor or damaged.

P.S. The best prices I have seen on Timken hubs is at Amazon of all places.
