How to change to longer rear wheel studs on a Vanagon T3 T25
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Here is how change the wheel studs to longer ones, so now I can use my new 16" Mercedes rims.
I bought mine here:

Conversion Stud 60mm: www.brickwerks.co.uk/conversi...

For any noobs out there, you don't need a hydraulic press to remove and replace studs. A good slap of a little sledge hammer will pop them out and you can use the lug nuts to tighten and pull them back into place. I guess if you have access to a professional machine shop then use it. :-)

HI Michael. That's correct, there are many ways to do this job, but as you say, I have access to the tools so why not use it.
Well Italjohn, Great job you did with changing the studs to larger one`s. I 1918 I did the same so when I`m remembering correct in 1918 or 1919.so I do know the struggle you had to fasten the studs and the nuts again. any way nice performance. Great video well narrated Greetings HCS.

EXCELENT! OK ! SUPER !
Hi John, nice video! Where did buy the longer studs? I can't seem to find them anywhere. I need 75mm for my application (I think). I have ET60 + 25mm spacer = et35. Currently te standard bolts (47 mm) fall 3 mm short in the spacer.

Half a decade old video and still super useful, thank you ItalJohn 🤗. I'm going to attempt this on the weekend. I have a old canal workshop's manual press, (forged in 1878), it weights about 80kg which I'll use to push out and in, (only paid £20 for it). 😊 My question, is it OK to re-use the hub castellated 46mm nut again or should they be replaced? Many thanks.

Hi there Peter. I have always reused mine, with no trouble. I don't know if it needs to be changed everytome you loosen it?

To switch my Syncro to Mercedes rims, I had to change to 72mm studs
The stock rims are sooo nice ,why not keeping them ?or put chrome hubcaps on them !

It's almost impossible to get decent tires for the 14" rims. 16" on the other hand have loads of options.

Italjohn13. How hard can it be? I have these tyres ,search for Michelin agilis or Michelin classic I can sent you pics if you want
Great job John. Did you need to drill out the stud holes in the alloy? What width are yours?

@@Italjohn 16mm? Thanks for your help. I have a set of Ronals. The stud drops into the hole, no problem. I ‘pulled’ the 5 studs into the hub plate using my air gun. I don’t have a press. As a result, the studs are not quite perfectly aligned and the alloy will not push on. The stud hole is 14mm. So, I either find someone with a press, or slightly increase my alloy hole, or both 😀

No, not 16mm. The rims are 16" and 7,5" width.
Do you have a video on doing the front wheels? I have a 1989 Syncro.

The front wheels just needed longer studs/bolts, as it has bolts before. I don't know how it is on a syncro, sorry.

А если ещё заменить подшипник роликовый на двухрядный шариковый , укоротить распортную втулку то получаетсяещё лучше. Очень хорошее ваше видео.
