Still not buying it. See this thread post #15 KH Hub removal ? . Why not buy a $10 hole saw and cut the swedge using a drill? Or drill the head off the stud from behind, then there is zero chance of damaging anything? Then all it takes is a light press or a hammer an a brass drift to get them out or in without damaging anything. Just like any rotors without the swedge. I never worried about time when I was in the automotive business, Sometimes you win, some times you loose. No stress, keep safe and take care of yourself.[/Q
Another old posting that you brought back up from the dead.
Have you Ever just put a rotor and hub under the ram of a press to press out the studs, other than making a mountain of a mole hill, that you like to do?
Learned earlier in my mechanic life you can do it this way too, if a stud is stuck in place.
All that you do is get a deep well impact socket out of your tool box, the diameter a bit bigger that the head of the stud, on the back side of the rotor.
Place it under the stud, go over to the press, put the stud you want to press out, and press out the stud into the deep well impact socket.
Under the ram of a 12 ton or 20 ton press, that stud is going to come out, with ease.
Taught you something new here this morning, haven't i.
Try it, gonna save you lots of time without you making mountains out of mole hills that you like to do.
