Video should be titled “how NOT to replace a broken wheel stud”. The proper way is with a press, and technically “swedged”. They should NEVER be pounded in with a hammer. That’s a good way to damage, and enlarge the hole, ensuring that the stud will eventually become loose. You have effectively ruined the drum by doing this. Take it to a machine shop, and just pay a few bucks to have it done properly, or invest in a hydraulic press……..for that “one” time in your life, that you’ll need to do this.
Hammer and chisel mechanic!
we did racing and our garage mechanic said to beat it out with a bf hammer, to install put it thru from the back put lug nut on and run the torque wrench until the nut pulls it thru. worked for us.
I use a large socket for support in removal and pull the replacement in with a lug nut or nut. This prevents any possible damage to the drum or hub.
