Hub flange studs

[FSJGuy]

Can they be easily replaced with regular bolts? (Appropriate length, of course)

I am switching out my hubs to new ones and it's a real PITA to get the old studs out. What would be the harm in just using regular bolts in the new hub? TIA

I take it you are referring to new front hub, selectro's. Yes, that is what I did, new bolts.

I replaced both front and rear axle studs with bolts as well.

bolts are bolts, and studs are studs.

I prefer to keep studs where they exist stock, but yeah, new ones and chasing the threads is a good idea.

[FSJGuy]

Good to hear. New bolts are a lot less expensive than new studs ($2 EACH!)

[tacoma]

You're paying a lot for studs. Yikes!

But yeah, bolts are fine too. Everything I've got has just got bolts now that I scrapped the stock axles.
