Repairing Missing Wheel Stud on IIA

Pics are always good Rex,, I currently have a "bolt" for one of mine, nuts rusted on very very well. It holds well, so we'll see if I need to fix it later.

Must be the time of year with this! Doing my axles at the moment, so had to take wheels off... as a result most studs came off the hub (I think I only had 1 hub with no studs removed). Anyway will be doing same, putting in the newer spline type (p/n 561886)

Pics would be great too :)

Here are the pics. This first one is the fit before pulling the stud in. A few minutes with the file and it fitted like this without catching.

After pulling in, 2 washers with grease between them. I'd have preferred them to be a little smaller but these worked. These are to reduce friction against the nut. Also grease on the thread to reduce friction there also.

And a gratuitous photo of the whole shebang. I've taken it out to my parent's farm rather than having it in my yard in town. Still a few things that need to be sorted. Brakes, tune, etc. But now that I've driven it around it feels like there's something wrong with the clutch so I'll have to look into that at some point.

G'day Rex,

I've got the same problem on my '63 IIa, one of the wheel studs has stripped the thread in the hub. I think I'll follow your repair solution.

I've a little confused with your first image, it looks like the stud is going in the wrong way or am I just looking at it wrong? Haha

Also, did you drill out a relief at the back of the hub for the stud flange?

Thanks mate!

I think the first post is just demonstrating the fit of the splines into the hole. That is definitely the wrong way.
