[DeTomaso] Spinning wheel stud

[sean mundy]

You are using the jack between the bottom of the wheels and pushing them against each other??

I'm with Jeff on this one.       Pressure baby pressure.

I have had to do this a time or two. I have two 4" X 4" with about a 6" X 6" plywood screwed to the ends. The plywood goes on
the inside of each rim, for protection. You then place a scissor jack in the center to apply pressure against the rim. Not too
much pressure, just enough pressure.

Make sure the spinning stud is down on the bottom to get most of the pressure. Youse your electric impact to give it a good
shot.

Sean:


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!!
