converting hubs to stud type?
Because i have no engine or brakes in my car at the moment getting the wheels on and off is becoming a pain in the arse!!!!
cheers for any info

I got some press in studs which require a 13mm hole, then get pressed in from behind.
The rear seems easy as there is plenty of room behind drum, but the hub on front there is little room to play with, by time you drill holes out to 13mm, there is about 2-3mm from outter hub edge to the hole.
Unsure what im going to do yet, currently looking into a different type of stud, maybe a screw in type and maybe a weld a dab on behind it.

It's much easier too!!!!
You can buy screw in ones, but i'm not a fan to be honest, the pressed in ones are better.
New hubs are only £20 or so and bearings are quite cheap so it's worth going the whole hog! Plus if you don't like it after all you only have to fit new drums to the back as you can swap your hubs back to the old ones!!!!
