mackdaddy Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 This is from the 66 R model I am restoring. The hub connecting to the brake drum is one piece and only a few inches to spare. What is the tool to hammer out a broken stud? in the picture you can see my guy tried to take a bolt and push it out with no luck.

Rob Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 I had to think on it awhile but my A40 uses the same setup to space the wheel out from the hub. The studs are pressed into the spacer and if they are snapped without enough to grab with a tool, it will need to be softened, then drilled for an easy out, or a small "wedgie" placed on the backside between the two rows of studs and hydraulic pressure applied. At the same time, heat is applied to the forging holding the stud. It will "pop" with force when it breaks loose.In the photo the the outer wheel is mounted minus the inner wheel on the hub.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

David Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 You could weld a nut on either end of the stud and turn it out if it is threaded in. If you find is's a spline, then put a nut on the back side and a steel block (or hammer head) between the end of the stud and the drum flange and push it out buy turning the nut off.

fifth wheel Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Carefuly cut the flange off the stud with a torch and drive it toward the drum, or weld a 1/2 inch stud to it and 5# slide hammer. No splines on that type of stud.FW Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/22476-how-to-get-out-a-broken-stud/#findComment-96810 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Ditchkus Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 If it is splined could you use a porta power with the alligator type attachment nif it will fit? It would give more pressure than a bolt and wrench. Joe D.
