>>I have searched the list history to no avail cause I don't really know
>>what
>> the correct
>> wording for these studs is or ares.
>>
>> So "brake disc to hub studs" is the best I can do for now. On a BT7
>> 3000.
>>
>> I removed the old studs from my old front wire wheel hub/disc with know
>> real
>> difficulty, but
>> reinstalling them in the new wire wheel hub has been very interesting so
>> far.
>> Hammering
>> on brand new wire wheel hubs is not what I had in mind when I purchased
>> these.
>> Why
>> the studs aren't already installed in the hub in the first place is
>> another
>> question for later.
>>
>> When I decided that hammering the studs into place was not working at all
>> I
>> moved over
>> to the vise to try to persuade them in with a little pressing action. I
>> really thought I was
>> gaining some ground since the vise handle kept turning, then suddenly my
>> vise
>> decided to give it up.
>> One of the forged metal halves literally broke in half. Wow, couldn't
>> believe it. That was
>> a huge amount of force but the stud was not moving like I thought it was.
>> So
>> , no more
>> vise till the stores open on Monday.
>>
>> The studs are now in the freezer chillin, (contracting) and the torch
>> comes
>> out tomorrow to
>> warm the holes up a tad (expansion) unless someone comes up with a better
>> idea.
>> I never had this much trouble in the past on TRs that we had to do this
>> same
>> operation on.
>>
>> At $8.00 a piece for new studdly duddlies, x 10 = $80.00. Out of the
>> question.
>>
>> The heat is the answer here, right?
>>
>> Or, I noticed (per Moss) that the late BJ8s used a regular bolt in this
>> area
>> instead of the serrated studs. .94 cents a piece.
>> Would this be an acceptable mod in your humble opinions if I still can't
>> get
>> the serrated studs in tomorrow?
>>
>> Mark
