How do you replace rear wheel studs on a 68 impala?

Answer 1

Remove axle and bring to a auto parts/machine shop

Remove brake drum

Axle should be held in place by 4 bolts accessible through a hole

Remove 4 bolts and axle should slide out after removing the wheel and the brake drum if you are planning on using your old studs again here is what i do.take a wheel nut and flushing it on the stud. give it a good hit with a hammer.it should back out .they are held in place on a small spline so as not to spin when you are tighening the tire .if you are replacing all 5 then a good smack with a hammer should do.when installing the new studs tighten the new stud down drawing them in flush to the back of the hub.make sure they are in fully before replacing the drum and wheel.not really a bad job.have fun
