THINK I remember it being a 5/8". DD
This below is a quote from Andy last July:
"He is trying to separate the hubs from the drums. Different problem. The studs are actually rivets and must be machined to
remove. I have drilled and I have ground. By far the easiest is to use a 5/8" deep
hole saw. Yes it will cut the soft metal. You just it put over the
stud and drill away. It may start to cut some of the
stud threads but so what. It is really kind of automatic as the cone shaped rimnent of the
stud will start turning and will slow down the drilling.
What ever you do, DO NOT TRY TO BEAT THEM OUT. You will bend the flange and it will need to be faced."
