[DeTomaso] Spinning wheel stud

[Joseph F. Byrd, Jr.]

The primary are the splines that are an "plastic" interference fit, with the flat as additional resistance to rotating at full engagement

Are the studs threaded or do they just have one flat side to keep them in place?

Since the other three lugs came off, try prying the wheel away from the hub cocking the wheel a bit.  You'll probably need a piece of wood or something that won't damage the wheel.  The idea is to put enough load on the studs that the hat on the back of the stud will bind against the axle flange "freezing" the stud and then the impact wrench will loosen the nut.  This might take a bit of force and finesse, and several sets of hands.


It's been some time since I've had mine apart, but if you can get the wheel off, you might be able to get a wire-feed or stick welder in there far enough to spot weld the stud and hold it in place until you want to change the studs.


Good luck and don't swear too much!!

My weekend project was to remove my rear wheels and check my rear brake pad wear. Oops, 2 of the pside lug nuts just spin and won’t loosen up. It looks like the studs are spinning and stripped. First I have to figure out how to get the lug nuts off. Drilling? I replaced the rear bearings over 10yrs ago so I know what a PITA removing the hub is going to be.. Assume I will need rear disk replacement so what are my affordable options? I’ve spent a lot of time searching the forum for info but its a bit overwhelming. Sean M
