Hi

I may have accidently hit the wheel nut thread with a hammer at some point and as such I cant get a wheel nut back on... any suggestions?

You can get new studs easily. Or if desperate you cpd try a tap and die set but I would personally get a new stud. They are really cheap.

Easy to replace?

Never done one mate bit I'm sure they just knock in might have to take the hub of though.

Thomas if youve whacked it enough to bend the stud i would defo change stud. Dont take chances with what holds your wheels on!!!!

They just drift out and you can use the threads on the new one like a puller to put it in without any inpact.

Do i need to take the hub off to get into it though?

Long time since i did a series one to be honest i think you just take off the brake shoes but i am guessing,

once youve got the drum off you would know for def.

not much to taking the hub off anyway just the big wheelbearing nut me thinks.

Will investigate while up at the weekend. Cheers.

Hi Thomas

2 different wheel studs are used. You may find that yours are threaded into hub. The other option is they have a flange with a spline. Look at the other side - what do you see? It it is a flange, then it should punch out. If not you should be able to unscrew it - use penertrating oil & heat.

The replacement stud will have a flange no matter what.

Not at Bathgate, will be at a wedding.

Easiest job I've ever done on the land rover!

Great news. Well done.
