drum brake wheel studs

[waffle]

I have a 57 D100 with drums and need a few new right handed studs. These are the non-serrated flat head style. All I can find online that say are supposed to fit, list the size that presses into the drum as .645" but all mine measure about .629". Been there before trying to press in a stud that was a tad too big and made cracks in a drum so not going to do it again. Any idea where I can get the correct studs?

Have you tried a local auto parts store?

Yes, but not all and I will. They have come up with the same .645" diameter that is too large.

NAPA has been good about finding oddballs in the past.

Well, I gave up trying to find so bought the .645" diameter ones from Dorman and will have to get them turned down to my .649" needed.FYI

Oh yeah sorry, .629" that is!! LOL

Somehow that just reads a lot better. Sorry for pinging on you but I just couldn't resist.

Surprised is does not have wheel bolts. Maybe that was just a car thing.
