Brake stud repair tool
One of the studs for my 35 Ford drum is missing I have a new stud and have to fix it in place (swage it?). How does this tool look? i have a half inch pipe that I would think could be used if I v'd the end (to what angle?) Do i relieve the inside a little to leave some of the 1/2 to 5/8 shoulder of the stud alone? Also I think I need to harden the "pipe". Do I just get it red hot and then cool in oil? Finally is the swage pressed in place or hammered in place?

Here is a link to Vince's site showing how to swage the stud.

Re: Brake stud repair tool
Greetings, I had to remove & replace all my front studs because my drums were worn out. Attached are photo's of the tool I used to install the new studs in the front hubs. The tool # is 22800, regardless of who sells it.
It has an internal sealed bearing that the body rotates on. The stainless side goes against the hub - you insert the stud from the backside of the hub - you put the tool over the stud, and screw the lug nut into the pocket. At this point, I used a battery impact driver and an Impact socket from Harbor Freight. I tightened it till the stud head was flush against the hub. I bought the tool on E-Bay(actually, 2 tools because someone complained that they wore out easily). Well, I installed 10 studs with no problem with one tool, and all with the impact driver. The stud in the photos is an old one with swage cut off with a hole saw. I did not reswage the studs. A member from the West coast PM'd me and said that once the stud is seated and the wheel installed it is secured. So, best of luck repairing your stud. Yours Truly, JP Lutz. |

Thanks for the input. I checked ebay and the price is right.
