Replacing Wheel Stud for 12 Bolt
Hey guys, need some help here. I need to replace one wheel stud on each axle. They were missing when I bought the truck. I'm assuming I need to pull the axle's out and have new studs pressed in? How do I go about pulling the axle's? Should I replace seals or anything else while i'm there?
Not sure if it has posi or not, how would I know when looking in the housing?

I have always just drawn them in with a lug nut.

Re: Replacing Wheel Stud for 12 Bolt
I usually put a not on the stud that is large enough to slide on without touching the threads. This prevents the lug nut from biting in to the axle flange. A light coat of anti-seize will help prevent friction while seating the stud.

Sounds like a good idea with the washer or oversized nut, thanks!
