[nearbrt]

having fun replacing broken rear stud on the 69.got as far as removing everything fine but no clearance to insert new 1 3/4" stud in thru the back .looks like the spindle has to come out about 3/4" ..how can i do this .it seems solid as all hell.gear puller ? tap/massage/pry method ? other thread says they bent dust cover for clearance but...suggestions ?????? might have some e brake parts after this .thanks in advance..big bob

ok was able to drill small hole thru dust cover then step it out to allow stud thru then into hub ..used washers and a new wheel nut and impact driver to set .."perfect" $4.50 and all day..beer thirty now
