[TR] TR4 wheel studs

[Brad Kahler]

Ed,

You will most definitely have to remove the axles.  There is no other
way to grind the backside of the wheel studs.  The studs were screwed
in at the factory and then peened over.  I went through this same
exercise last winter.  Very frustrating and time consuming.  Once you
have ground the backside that was peened then you unscrew the old ones
and then screw in the new ones.  The hard part is you now have to peen
over the new stud so that it won't unscrew.

Pain in the royal backside to do this.

Oh yeah, you also have to pull the hub from the axle to do the work.

Been there, done that.

Brad
