Wheel studs
I broke 2 wheel studs off last night taking my tire off. How hard are these to replace?
I figure I have to take out the axle, press them out, and press the new ones in. Problem is I don't have a press. Can I use my vise to press them out, and then put the new ones in and use a nut to "press them in" by tightenining them? |

use the lug nut when tight'n em to press them in!

It's a catastrophic success.

Be carefull sledging with out a back up, Dad had bought a newer truck with rear disk and was having brake troubles ,the guy told him that it looked like some one had changed a lug stud and had bent the axel flange, causing the disk to woble
