wheel studs

Post by john bevan »

One of the wheel studs on the rear wheels sheared whilst I was changing the wheel.
two questions:

1) How do I fix it?, and do I need to go to a Morgan garage or can the local one do it?

2) Is it safe to drive it slowly down the road to the garage if I go there?

John.
I think, unless I am talking a lot of c*************p
If it is a stud in a normal brake hub just remove the drum and you should be able to drift out the broken stud and just replace it with a new one. I don't think you need to remove the hub. If you do then that can be a bit of a job as you will need pullers to get hub off 1/2 shaft
hope this helps Melvyn Rutter has the rear hub studs
