Mike870 Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 Hi snapped 1 lug stud on my 86 sunrader on the left rear ,Not too worried but need to fix soon from my understanding you have to pull the axel to replace stud ! Wondering if anyone could give me some input on this thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaineErik Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 Yes that's right, axle comes out, total PIA. Loosen the axle nuts and then tap on them with mallet, it makes dissasembly much easier. I also jacked left side up high enough so that I wouldn't loose diff oil. Upon reassembly be super careful to not damage O rings. I think it's also a good opportunity to replace all the studs with traditionally threaded ones so that future folks don't have to work with reverse threads. I had to use impact hammer to back old studs out. Check diff fluid when you're done. Oh, and you'll need to regasket upon reassembly too.
