Location: New Castle PA		Folks, I have a shop owner who contacted me. He wants to replace damaged threads (possibly both LH and RH) on a 1957 DeSoto. I've never done it, but I know that some of you have converted the tapered axle setup to a "more modern" style (where the drum just has holes instead of the attached studs). What "tricks" are involved? I'm assuming a press and not a big hammer, but any help would be appreciated. Also, is there a source for the replacement studs? THANK YOU ALL.

The lug studs are swedged into the drum/hub, simply pressing or driving them out can enlarge the hole in the hub so that new studs will be loose. The correct way to remove them is to use a cutter to remove the swedging. Some automotive machine shops will have the swedge cutting tool or they're available from Goodson.

Location: New Castle PA		Thank you. I obviously meant LUG, not LOG. Darn those fingers! Any source for the replacements?

Location: So. Cal		There are 2 studs listed on Dorman. 610-036 (not serrated) and 610-039 (serrated). I suspect that the serrated 039 is what you need, but I am not certain.

Location: New Castle PA		Thanks. I did check RockAuto, and didn't see DeSoto listed (as you said). Should have thought to check Dodge or maybe Chrysler. All I see are RH threads, though. I'm going to suggest the fellow who needs them go directly to Dorman and see what they say. Most likely, I think, they'd have them if anyone. You guys are the best...

If finding the correct LH studs is a problem, just change to RH lugs and nuts.

Location: So. Cal		I agree. If I don't have to mess with them, they stay as LH, but if I need to change them, they go to RH. Less trouble in the end.
