Can anyone suggest a source of correct rear wheel studs? - 12 mm x 1.5mm pitch x 55 mm. The nearest I can find is from Burton Power but these require shortening.
Is it possible to replace these without disturbing the half shaft? I had new tyres recently and I suspect that the tyre fitter used too much torque. Result is 5 loose studs, wrecked wheel nuts and a damaged wheel.
Best wishes
John B

Thanks Ralph.
Most grateful if you could let me know as van is off the road - all five are needed on the rear off side.
Kind regards
John

If memory serves me right you can knock the studs out without taking the hub off, pull them back in with a wheel nut and a tube spacer. I would replace the nuts as well

Thanks Ralph
I have managed to locate an eBay source - they appear to have 47 sets of 5 in stock! However if this doesn't work I will come back to you.
With kind regards

Thanks Muttley
No need to knock out the studs as they are already very loose. However they won't come out unless the brake shoes are removed or the hub comes off.
I will report back. Hope to do the job next week
Kind regards

Dear Ralph
Following a call from the eBay seller this morning (explaining their computer glitch) could you supply the five studs after all?
Most appreciated
John B
