Get a new stud and set up your "C" type press applying all the pressure it will against the hub and stud. From the rear using either a large air hammer with a hammer bit, or BFH, impact the rear of the press just above the stud a few times. Try to tighten the press further, and repeat the process.I borrow a guy's 10 ton unit and have had some tight ones in th past but have always managed to get by.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.
