hey guys,
this morning i removed the right rear wheel from my dad's "c" to gain easier access to the gasket surface of the final drive housing( i was in the process of changing the fluid and wanted to scrape off the old rotten cork). In order to remove the wheel, I ended up cutting off one of the wheel studs, as the knurling on the stud had apparently stripped out and the stud would just spin with an impact wrench on the nut. This may have been a mistake. It appears to me that it is going to be impossible to put in a replacement stud without further dis-assembly as the casting that houses the spindle is too large, preventing me from being able to slip the stud through the backside of the hub...Is this the case? Am I going to have to tear down further or is there a trick to this? Thanks in advance for any help you may be able to offer!
