Hi. I haven't pulled it through the hole. I bought some new wheels and couldn't get them on because the studs were too short. I bought some longer studs, but when I went to put them on. They were too wide for the holes in the hub. I've drilled the holes out in the hub, and now they are very slighty too big. So I need a way of stopping the studs from spinning in the hole so that I can tighten my wheel nuts up. I think that I've found a way now?! I'm going to centre punch 2mm to 3mm from the hole all the way round the hole, therefore collapsing the hole just enough to pinch the studs! I'm also going to use some metal glue to hold them in place aswell. Thanks for your help and advice, Dean.

Thanks for the advice Les. It's much appreciated. Should I have it MIG welded or gas welded? Thanks again, Dean.

Hi Les. I'm new on this site but wondered if you could help me? The thing is. I need to put longer wheel studs into my hubs so that I can put new wheels on. The wheel studs are 13.1mm at the spline and I've drilled the holes in the hub out to 13mm. When I put the studs into the hub and put the wheel on. The studs then turns when I start to tighten it up and then pops out the back of the hub. I've tried this with 3 different hubs now and am at my wits end! The question that I would like to ask you is. Is it ok to have the studs welded onto the hub using a MIG welder? I won't be doing it, I shall have it done properly. What do you think? Thanks for your help Les, Dean.
