Got them off! I had to use a touch bigger hole saw, as the inside diameter of the 5/8 was two small to get over the stud. When all was said and done, I used a dewalt 3/4". Scared me to death to do this - but, thanks a million Cap'n for the how to. Very little/minor damage to the wheel insert.
I had to use a very sharp chisel to snap the remaining material that was on the stud. I will need to chase the threads for sure. Does anyone know the thread size/pitch of a 911 wheel stud? Here are some pics. Also did some serious scrubbing on the wheel wells. Goota love fresh paint. Thanks again so much Cap'n - Scott S    |

Looks beautiful - but is the bottom of the strut still dirty? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I would take a pattern off the lug with some clay and make a key with some roll pins and 3/8" flat bar. Drill a center hole, drill the pattern, weld a piece of pipe to the flat bar to slide over the stud, weld an old lug nut to the pipe. Insert the roll pins, cut them to length, over torque the other 4 nuts, remove the locking lug.
Lots of work but if you can't find the lock it will save your wheel. Edit, didn't check the second page (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Glad you got it! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |
