Kato Dolomite Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 I need to replace one of the rear wheel studs on my Sprint. I have removed the halfshaft but I cant see how to get into the back of the bearing part to replace the stud.Anyone done this before?Thanks. 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Mart Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Yes, I've done it a few times. Unfortunately you have to undo the castled nut & push the shaft out (usually with a 10 ton press). Or if you want to cheat, you can peel back the backplate (155544), change the studs & then tap the plate back into shape again (not that it will look that pretty afterwards but it is hidden.

mikeyb Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 I looked at mine when it was apart - how easy does 155544 come off the rear of the hub - it looked crimped on to me ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Mart Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Yes they are crimped over but it doesn't take much to tap them back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kato Dolomite Posted January 21, 2011 Author Share Posted January 21, 2011 Thanks for the info. I think I will go with bending the plate back and then tap back into shape.Thanks again. ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
