Thanks guys, so I went to NAPA and got 2 studs. Mine miked out at .470, the ones I got are .4775. Because my studs are 7/16", the next size up is 1/2" so the splines would be bigger than 1/2". That means drilling all 5 holes out. So I am hoping to be able to stick with 7/16". My plan is to clean the holes, loctite the new studs and pull them in. See how they feel from there, if she is sloppy seconds, then I will tack them in from the back side.
When I was putting the studs in, I did them by hand, but with the diff on the work table I couldnt pull them in all the way without the arse end moving. So I thought I would use an impact(see title where it says dumbass!!). I had the impact turned down, but the nut tightens on the stud before it pulls it all the way in. Of course didnt stop after the 1st one, I had to do it one more time(upgraded from a mistake to a dumbass!!) Then I wisened up a bit and put a big lock washer on it to take up the slack. You can still drive around with 3 studs cant ya?? LOL. I aint touching it tonight, it can wait, Lori just got back home after being away for 4 days so gotta get my priorities straight!!
Okla, the part # from NAPA is 641-1615.
