Greetings,
I currently have wire wheels on my TR3. I would like to have the option of using some mag style wheels. I have found some knockoff mag wheels, but would rather change the current front and rear studs to the longer ones required for disc wheels, then use a spacer if I want to remount the wires. I have read that the fronts are a relatively simple press out, then press in the new ones, but the rears are much harder because the studs are peened to the hub. I removed a rear axle, see pictures, and the peeing sufficiently widened the stud, but I think the way they did it, I can carefully grind down the stud and remove it. In the third picture, you can see the outer side of the stud on the hub. It has a shoulder that makes me think it was threaded in from the front side, then cut off and peened.
Can anyone confirm that the rear studs screw in from the front side?
While I'm at it, are the front studs a press fit with a knurled (almost splined) edge that fits in the hub?
Thank in advance!
