I've seen a few posts on how to change rear wheel studs, here's my question. I have done a 5 lug conversion on my car and the guy who did insisted that i get extended axle studs on my car. I instantly regretted this decision when i saw how the ends were rusted by the time i picked up the car. He cut my brand new lug nuts and put them on the axle which i just noticed when i went to look for them. now I have an extra 1-3/4'' sticking out rusted axle stud and i hate it. How can I switch the studs on the axles? I have heard take off the drum and bang the stud with a hammer. I can see a million things going wrong with this. How also do you reinstall the studs? Is their a way to do this without removing the axles? I know a good amount about disc brakes from my newer cars but i still am retaining the drum brakes so do i have to take everything off the axles if i dont have to take out the axles? can anyone please help, I would really prefer pictures or videos tends to help me much better than just plain words. thanks!!!
