[DeTomaso] Techno question: stock wheel studs

[B Hower]

Dear Dr,
Front or rear stud? That may make a big difference, but I have not had to deal with that problem.

  Dear Forum,



                          While mounting the rear wheels today, I noticed
  that one wheel stud is loose and moves in and out about an eighth of an
  inch.  It does not rotate.  The other four studs are tight.  The loose
  stud permitted normal tightening and torqueing.


                          Dumb question: It shouldn't be loose.  Is it a
  big problem or a small one that can wait for an opportune time for
  correction?


                          Second dumb question:  Even though I just
  finished an engine build, I have never dealt with wheel studs.  Easy,
  medium or hard task for an amateur?



                                            Warmest regards,  Chuck Engles
