vented rotor question

taconasty · 09-01-2008, 05:14 PM

i am doing the vented rotor swap and have run into the issue with the wheel studs. i bought the ones recommended on the pirate4x4 and they are not going in. i have a small 12 ton press and it wouldn't even get them in all the way. what are you guys with this swap running for studs?
thanks

well the land cruiser studs have a knurling that is a bit further down to compensate for the rotor thickness. this is from what i gathered looking at them side by side. my new studs are about .015 thicker, which is apparently too much. i am having one hell of a time getting these in. it shouldn't be this hard, i guess i have to borrow a car and order oem. i'm pretty fed up with working on this truck.

well i took them to napa and their press had no issue with them, the guy said they are going in tighter then normal. only charged me 5 bucks too. i gave him 10, and if i had a 20 i would have happily gave it to him. so my pos 12ton press is going back for a 20ton. oh well, on to the reassembly.
thanks
