Size Press To Swedge Wheel Studs?
I have one front wheel stud on my 160A that needs replacement. The Snyder’s catalog says the studs just slide into the holes in the drum and then the shoulders are smushed into the drum with their tool and hydraulic press. What sized press is needed to do this? Any other tips or tricks I need to know? Unfortunately all my books are 400 miles away and I have never done this before…😊

Yes. Anything smaller will not get the job done

30 tons is good but sure the hub is well supported at the back.

Re: Size Press To Swedge Wheel Studs?
Recent article in the Sept/Oct issue of "Restorer" (MAFCA) provides some interesting reading on your post subject.
Seems more "after-market" parts, challenge our hobby knowledge to make their product work, or fit, even to just look right for the era. Originals are getting harder to find.. I guess that's why we try to horde as much as we can.! IMO/kb |

Hmmm, I don't think I even received that issue yet.
