Hi just thought I’d post this might be of some use to someone in the future. I needed to change rear studs so thought I would try without removing hubs because either way the cover needs to come off the back of hub. I tapped carefully has I could around hub and tapped back one section fully to see if I had room to change studs.


b
Managed to change quite easily with plenty of room but drawing them through was not easy but managed with washers and nuts to do it vey carefully





I tapped backplate back round but just need to find a way to fix them or don’t know whether to remove them altogether

Hi Chumley

When I fitted my MG studs, I did away with the back plate and put Loctite on the splines and I have had no issues.

Regards

Barry

When I replaced my rear studs I removed the hub and worked on my bench, which worked out much better.

Thanks I thought about that but read that it can be a right pain removing the hub without the correct puller did you replace the backplate

I brought the correct pulleryes it was very tight but it came off with a bang. Using the puller I did not have to disturb the brakes or back plate. Now I have a puller for any further work
