Wheel spacer stud repair?
Has anyone ever replaced a stud in an aluminum wheel spacer? The studs on my spacer have an allen socket head on the inside flange. They won't budge. I've also tried to knock it out like a regular wheel stud with no luck. It's soaking in penetrating oil now. Are these studs pressed in or screwed in with an allen wrench? Or does anyone know?

Re: Wheel spacer stud repair?
I have aluminum spacers and mine are scewed in. I remember them being loose when they were new and I had to tighten them.

Thanks for the info. Do you happen to remember if the threads were reversed or not?

They must be regular thread because one of mine comes out with the lug nut.

Thanks for the info guys. The stud is seized pretty good. I'll see what I can do with it after it soaks a day or so in some oil.

Sprid. I would try some heat if soaking doesn't work, it may be locktighted.

Re: Wheel spacer stud repair?
Trying to come up with another way of supporting this thing. I hate to stick in a vice and chew it all up. I may drill me some holes in a 2x6 and bolt the remaining three studs to it and the start prying. Anyone else got any suggestions?

If the spacer is aluminum, I would try heating the outside of the spacer.
