[Healeys] rear wheel stud

[Alan Seigrist]

Simon -

Taking the hub off the car is typically a pretty easy thing to do.  Just
remove the axle (comes right out), and then unscrew the octagon then either
use a puller or hand pull the hub off the axle.

Then use a vise and press the stud out.  Putting a new stud in is a bit
difficult, I think the best I've heard is freeze the bolts and put the hub
in the oven at top setting thenpress together using a vice and alot of heat
pads!

Cheers,

Alan
