Rear Wheels

1. Raise and support the car. Remove the wheels from the vehicle.
2. ark the relationship of the wheel assembly to the axle flange and remove the brake drum.
3. Using a press remove the wheel stud from the axle flange.

   To install:

4. Insert a new wheel stud in the axle flange hole. Rotate the bolt slowly to assure the serrations are aligned with those made with the original bolt.
5. Place a flat washer over the outside end of the wheel stud and thread a standard wheel nut with the flat side against the washer. Tighten the wheel nut until the bolt head seats against the axle flange.
