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

 

my swap was on a 83 model year ..
no problems with the studs ...

 

did you use studs for a landcruiser?

 

the stock 79-83 studs .. which , i'm not positive .... but i'm sure there the same as the 84-88's ?
EDIT:
actually , arnt the landcruser the same as well ?

 

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

 

Post the part number of the studs you used and what rotors you used. Please
