Re: rear lug studs
I think usually the splines on the studs strip and not the axel itself. Well thats on cars actually.

Re: rear lug studs
You will have a big problem getting the wheel off ... after that the stud will fall out and a new one can be presses in by putting the lug nut on & pulling the stud into the flange hole... but the big problem remains how to get the wheel off, first?

Re: rear lug studs
Do you have steel or alum.wheels? I have in the past had to take a Dermal with a cut off wheel and remove from steel wheels, takes some time but iy can be done wuth out damageing the wheel. If it is recessed lug, you will have a hard time. By the way have you tried a impact many times it spins fast enough to spin lug off i would try that first.

Re: rear lug studs
I use a Harbor Freight 10 dollar air powered cut-off wheel. It works great.

Re: rear lug studs
You might find it easier to grind off the stud from behind the hub if you can get the cart up in the air, then push the new stud in and tap it in place with a hammer followed by hitting the nut with higher than usual psi from an impact wrench to fully seat it on the splines. Finally, back off the bolt and re-torque to normal specs.

Re: rear lug studs
I have done the dremel tool trick and I have used the mini grinder as well.+
One more trick is to center punch the nut on each side of the stud and drill a 1/8" hole in the nut parallel to the stud and then drive a small flat chisel down through the holes to break the nut off the stud. |
