One local had to run longer studs because of his rims, and has worn out his hub bearings. He bought new Timkins and we used my arbor press and pressed the studs out of his old stock ones, and his new Timkin ones, and then with a little anti-seize for slickness, and a grade 8 washer and a sacrificed stock lug nut, ran the nut on with an impact, lined up the splines, and then ran the impact some more till the stud was seated in the hub. Did that for them all, easy as pie.

Just my $0.02 on the deal.

Timkin FTW!

I agree with running stock hubs. That is the only ones I will run. I have heard Timkins are good. But haven't run them. I buy good used hubs from Ed.

I don't run longer studs, but I have had to change a few. I just use a big 3-4lb hammer, pound out the old studs, line up the splines, and pound in the new ones. I don't have a press and the BFH works just fine for me.
