....the race is really tight i even tried to hit it out to replace it with the new one....but the old ones are stuck in pretty good....so i didnt feel any grooves or ruffness so i left the old ones in and put new bearings....

umm if you are replacing a bearing ALWAYS replace the race along with it. Races can be driven out with a long punch and hammer. I would replace the outer bearing and race as well as the washer, spindle nut, and cotter pin. I am curious as to why you had to replace studs twice?[/QUOTE]

ive tried the punch and hammer out the race but it seems like its chipping the race so im gonna take it to a shop and get it pressed out.....
and the first time i replaced the stud the weights on my wheels came off and i couldnt locate the problem in time and it wobbled the stud off....Step 1#...look for weights on wheels.....lol...i had just gotten the rims and tires so i figured it wasnt them.....
well off to the press shop....ill see what happens...i really hate drum brakes now.....
