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:

    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.

    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.

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

    @@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 😀

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