Found a cross threaded wheel stud on my 8.8. Not sure if I did this, or if it was the shop that put the tires on. anyway, this is an easy repair.
Tools/parts needed 1 - Dorman AutoGrade - Wheel Stud -Part # 610-260 ($1.99) 5 lb sledge hammer Impact gun or large breaker bar 4 or 5 thick washers grease

5 lb sledge made quick work of the old stud, plenty of clearance behind the end of the axle shaft.
|
|
|
and it's out..you can see how chewed up the threads are..
|
|
|
used a bit of grease around the knurled part of the stud to help it go in easier.
|
|
|
used a stack of some thick washers so I could pull the stud into the shaft.
|
|
|
hitting it with my impact gun.
|
|
|
this is my cheap HF impact, but it got the job done, was able to draw the stud flush with the back of the shaft.
