Replacing wheel studs on a big truck. May 14, 2018

[@rubenayala2203]

What would cause chip on a pad like that also would it truly have any effect on the breaking?

[@57bagre]

All that was clearly answered in the video. Sorry the video was so boring that you needed to skip most of it.

[@keithhatch56]

Hitting with his hammer.

[@suttonandre7784]

dunno if you guys gives a damn but if you are bored like me during the covid times you can stream pretty much all of the latest movies on instaflixxer. I've been watching with my brother for the last couple of days =)

[@alejandroarmando8488]

@Sutton Andre yup, I have been using Instaflixxer for months myself :)

[@kyllenromero5970]

Hit it with the hammer being lazy didnt want to take the brakes off, also it doesnt do much but depending on the driver and the load it messes up your drum when you brake alot giving it a river wear. Also the studs are nit to be stretched like this at all that why its recommended that when you put your wheels back on you apply 480 to 500 pounds oiled. Overall this video was ok he is a driver saving up some money

[@RedstoneQwerty]

Thank you for the video, I'm just starting out as a diesel mechanic and it's very helpful having videos available that I can learn from when the more experienced techs in my shop don't have time to teach me.

[@timamyett]

I appreciate these tutorials it takes a lot of the guesswork out of these chores for me.

[@57bagre]

Glad they help.

[@phillhuddleston9445]

May be common knowledge but keep in mind some trucks have left hand wheel studs on the drivers side, it really doesn't make sense because the wheel can not spin with the studs in the way even if the nuts did loosen up but it wasn't my idea I'm just the messenger. Left hand studs should have a L at the end but may be covered with grease and dirt. My son found this out the hard way after breaking three studs and one breaker bar using a ten foot pipe over it on his old Ford dump truck :( The lessons that stick with you the best are the ones learned the hard way.

[@W1CASA]

Thanks Phill i owe you a cold one. The little L was full of paint but there none the less

[@phillhuddleston9445]

@@W1CASA Glad I saved at least one person from a hard lesson.

[@Sundog0811]

I knew this and still tried the wrong way. I thought just the inner budds was right hand thread.

[@markarmstrong3394]

Oh my !! Your bringing back bad bad memories. I got sucked into that and it was well over 100F here in TX out in a gravel parking lot and damn near died. Now on only in a shop. Lol

[@57bagre]

It was 90 something yesterday when I did that, but the heat doesn't bother me too much. I also did 2 sets of brakes on the front drives while I did those studs. Thanks for watching.

[@zaroba]

Thank you for this video. I want to replace the studs on my wabash trailer so I can replace e my steel rims with aluminum rims and you make it look like a pretty easy job.

[@duaneadams3786]

Been there done that it's one heck of a workout when you do all the drive studs I will say it's a lot easier with the hub off the truck but not always the caseive done it both ways over the years

[@ericcorse]

Glad to see summer seems to have arrived in your neck of the woods.

[@57bagre]

Finally.

[@rickh7170]

Great video. I have a broken stud that i have to replace. Gonna be fun with no stud sticking out. Are the studs a common size? I know the truck had aluminum wheels on it at one time. And also Could I order studs and nuts online? Thank you

[@robertotoledo1910]

I’ll tell you what That ship on the brake pad looks fine to me as far as I’m concerned it’s no big deal, 👋👌👍👍

[@Pete-from-Tn]

Those studs held up good for 20 years of salt. I replaced 4 set of wheel studs and nuts last year. Mine was on a dump trailer. Those were pushing 30 years old. You can take an air hammer when there's room. And those studs go in easier.

[@57bagre]

Thanks Pete.

[@InNoTime3377]

Are those 33mm studs? what length are they? .....I been wanting to put longer studs on my hubs so i can run inner aluminums wheels but cant seem to find a part number or anything online....what size you recommend to run all aluminum wheels? thanks

[@bretthoffman2128]

I just watched, you did a good job, could you do a video on appropriate stud length with regard too aluminum/ steel wheels, or a combination of the 2 on the same axle? A lot places that utilize trucks and maintain them do not understand the requirements and get really huffy when you try too educate and correct thier mistaken doctrine, what a lot of people fail too comprehend is once you leave with the truck too work, is whatever happens, with any defect the driver lets slide, is on the DRIVER

[@josecarbajal1164]

Another great video!!! Thanks

[@jasonstacy5587]

How did the chunk get taken out of the brake shoe?

[@MrUbiquitousTech]

Good call on replacing those studs, old ones did look a bit sketchy. No whining from me on the brake shoes, you're right, doesn't hurt a bit. Would have been wasteful replacing them. Thanks for the video Gordon!

[@57bagre]

Thanks.

[@ricfairfaxfc4017]

How do you remove outer lug when it is stuck to the inner lug? Inner lug just comes off - inner/outer lugs sandwiched on the wheel.

[@cofox9]

Another awesome vid! Hey I watched your axle seal video quite a while back and was curious if I could just cage the brake with a caging bolt to take the drum off instead of having to rely on keeping air pressure in

[@57bagre]

You can but you only need air long enough to loosen the brake and then you can't adjust the brake when finished without the air. You still have to loosen the brake with a wrench even if you use a caging bolt.

[@joevega5477]

i see you have head board rack. i do flat bed too. i like your video's, shot out from Chicago

[@cocopenpen7019]

Gordie you are a strong man...

[@MegaPeoplelove]

I always take the hub completely off and sit in the drum. Slam the studs out. Then rotate the the hub then install new studs with a sledgehammer. Makes the job alot easier. Then reinstall hub. Then you are done. Should not use the lugs to tighten done a wheel stud. But I do see it working for him.

[@IndianTruckWorkshop]

Great work brother 👍👍👍🎉

[@p.emerson0864]

Good stuff Gordon. Just like on a car, but heavier and more of a pita....lol.

[@vaughndibble4598]

Lisle tools make a good tool for that job part #28950 saves on the threds of the new studs & nuts.

[@57bagre]

Thanks.

[@codycheney3401]

Hey Gordon, So with the steel that you haul what is your weight limit or full gross weight ?

[@57bagre]

Legally 80,000 without an over gross permit but I usually carry the permits up to 118,000

[@cheolopez9456]

How much is the price to do that work?

[@scottodog]

Doing this today only I have 5 broken studs to deal with.....thanks

[@57bagre]

Thanks for watching.

[@NasserAlhameli]

Thank you so much for the vid... Would you please tell me where to find all types of semi truck wheel studs? I have a 1988 Newell motorhome which is Rockwell axles.. but have troble finding studs.

[@57bagre]

I don't have a sure place to find studs, they can be tricky to find. I usually put a lug nut on the end of the stud and knock the stud out with a hammer and take it to the parts store and match it up with something the same diameter and close to the same length and get new studs and nuts that way.

[@modeverything9949]

Great how too. Thanks for sharing

[@57bagre]

thanks Gordon keep it up

[@JoseMartinez-ll7vo]

Awesome vid!

[@57bagre]

Thank you sir.

[@akhenatenhotepamun3180]

Thank you.

[@williamzoom]

When you started I was saying to myself, he needs a bigger hammer :)

[@ericcorse]

Mass is your friend here.

[@57bagre]

I think it still took the same number of hits with either hammer but the bigger hammer was slower and more accurate. I chipped the brake shoe with the smaller one.

[@ericvaria7807]

How long its takes for this job

[@JTBlair-nw6gb]

Im impressed with your work. You seem to know whats going on.

[@danielneuenschwander7381]

Would using a propane torch or even a welding torch to give each stud some localized heating make pounding them out a bit easier?

[@57bagre]

If they weren't coming out, I could heat the hub flange a bit but it's aluminum so have to be careful with that.

[@danielneuenschwander7381]

True, I was under the assumption the hub was steel looking at the oxidation & color. Very good point, and yes with aluminum, it is so easy to overheat & create distortion. Thanks!

[@jorgerodriguez6470]

Question , what size of wheel stud will I need if I’m using aluminum wheels on drives right now I have regular wheels people tell me when converting to aluminum I will need bigger size of stud mines right now barely have some tread out

[@lrdisco2005]

Try a wheel bearing between the socket and back plate to cut down the friction, Eric from SMA shared that tip.

[@MrTruckerf]

Now that sounds like a good idea!

[@57bagre]

thanks.

[@EfficiencyPro]

How long does it take to change all the studs

[@57bagre]

1-2 hours on 1 wheel.

[@Inferlogist]

Could you tell me the part number of the front and rear bolt stud please .

[@57bagre]

Call your dealer.

[@TheDisorderly1]

Those old studs were looking pretty rough, how many miles/years old are they? Nice work Gordon!

[@57bagre]

1.5 million miles, 21 years. Thanks.

[@sergk2820]

@@57bagre after 21 years they came out pretty easy I'd say. I am going to replace mine to a bit longer studs so I can fit 2 aluminium wheels on . It's a 1999 kenworth w900l. Would all the banging like that effect the wheel bearing?

[@jondavis8571]

thanks bro

[@adam8347]

Will you sell the truck when you retire?

[@57bagre]

I don't plan to retire for at least 5 years. If I quit driving, I plan to keep the truck for videos.

[@anibalbabilonia1867]

Wow! Good job! Man too bad you almost damaged the brake shoes!! 😮 i think its a better idea next time take the shoes off. Good job thought thanks for the tutorial.

Thanks Anibal.

Leave shoes on.Next time it wont happen.

That a Boy Gordon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@carsandmoods3593]

I don't think that Brake lining would hinder the braking, and it wouldn't worry me down the road for a week... however it's a fail to me, on a roadside inspected IF the DOT can find it once the wheel is on...

@@57bagre I would like to do my ‘13 International so I can run aluminum wheels

[@ludditeneaderthal]

Minor suggestion: a hardened washer or 2 between the lug nut and hub flange, well greased with high temp bearing grease. Nice hard slick slippery thrust faces make life easier, lol. I share your allergy to useless cash outlay for unneeded specialty tools, but that seems like a worthy expenditure. Of course, using a ball joint press would be even easier on everything, if it fits.

[@57bagre]

good idea.

[@keithhatch56]

This is how real mechanics operate.Im sure the pc culture would disagree.

[@stanpatterson5033]

Those new studs will last the life of the truck. Really the old ones should have, but I'm guessing that their was some reaction between metals. Dare I ask how much a stud goes for? I've never had to buy them. I think you mentioned in a previous vid that the ones for this truck are special order.

[@57bagre]

The whole set of 10 cost about $90. They were not really special order but just out of stock because they don't sell many of that style anymore. Thanks Stan.

[@stanpatterson5033]

Whoops, guess I should have said "back order" instead. Anyways, 9 bucks apiece isn't so bad, but it's enough when you have 10 of them (or more) to replace. Hey, only 3 thumbs-down whiners who didn't like the chip out of the brake lining.

[@57bagre]

yeah $9. for the stud and the nut isn't bad.

You must have been cursing when you whacked the brake shoe lol

who is these 19 evil ,who dislike this video .

[@mewithouttherandomnumbers]

Near the end he tells them if they don't like the chip in his brake shoe, they should click dislike. Funny thing is clicking dislike helps a video more than doing nothing does. KZbin just promotes videos that get interaction - it doesn't really matter much if it's good or bad interaction.

If you driving a truck you gonna have to be a mechanic with these laws. .....soon you won't just be able to just drive a truck, without being a truck mechanic...

[@marlonmoore5000]

Instead of wasting time taking the brake shoe off just cut it off with a torch or grinding blade. Unless you’re saving them for trophies. Never mind. That ☝🏾 statement was stupid. You still have to put the new ones in.

[@colemcdonald4216]

It took you 2 years to change them and you knew they were that bad...
