Replace with bolts and remove studs???
Lockout Hubs
(QUOTE)
Scott,
I have done both installs.
The Front
If all the nuts are off the studs, the hub plate should come off. You are going to have to replace the studs with bolts, so go ahead and pull the studs out now. Then, a "light" tap with a hammer sideways will release the gasket holding the plate on. Clean everything real well and just use RTV instead of the new paper gasket that came with the Selectro hubs. I also found it very helpfull to run a tap through each of the stud holes before I screwed new grade 8 bolts in.

I posted this to an old thread but have become very concerned
I ordered my Hubs today from Bob and the quote above says I have to remove all the studs and replace them with Bolts, anyone know if this is true?
Stud tool...............?
I've been looking at the stud removal tools and both types seem to ruin the stud upon removal, destroying the threads, is this true?
So the stud cannot be reinserted should the 6th or seventh one not want to come out?
I think the double nut method might be a safer approach ....as I have found so far......... everything I try to do there is "always" one of something that breaks or refuses to budge. But I like the challenge
