Did you just bang a hole through the plate with a hole saw? I gather there is room to move the stud past the hand brake etc? or does the assembly need to be removed?

Worst part was removing/installing the park brake shoes. (not exactly a design triumph from fraud!)I wound up driving ahole aprox 21mm in diameter at 12 o'clock position on the dust shield between the two up right for the upper arm and punched the studs out through there. A word of warning tho, the new studs have a shorter splines section that is machined closer to the head of the stud so they need to be enagaged as tight as possible before you try to tighten them down. One of my studs spun and trashed the spline so it had to be replaced.Thanks again for the tip Ratter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But when I did the wheels studs on a territory I ran into the issue of the dust plate. Instead of drilling through the dust plate, there is a section of it that has machines notch out of it. You can rotate the dust plates notch, to each of the wheel studs position and tap the wheel stud out through the gap. I will let you guys know if its the same on my xr6t ute. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you remove the ABS rotor, which is what is in the way of removing the wheel stud.Broke a rear wheel stud on girlfriend's taxi this week, so will have a go at pressing the bearing off with a press and re-using it (ie the bearing is only a few weeks old). No big deal - a new bearing set is $27.50 if I need to replace it (Timken 2985 will do). I'll press the collar off first and then the bearing cage separately.
