Seven Wheel stud replaced

I received three pretty new wheel studs. They are the same shap as the old ones, but seem to have been machined out of one piece instead of the old pressed in ones. Getting them on the hub was easy: just tap the old studs out and put the new ones in with the new rivets provided. After this it was just a matter of refitting the hub on the axle without moving the key on the
driveshaft.

Taped the bearings to keep the dirt out

The stud removed

New stud fitted. Changed all three on this wheel as the old studs looked weaker than the new ones. Now I'll order three more for the other wheel.
