Ken:
I was also very puzzled about the way the hub is held in place the first
time I took it off. I am surprised that the hubs don't pull out of the
trailing arms as the aluminium dissolves around the steel studs. This seems
like the perfect place to put in some Helicoil inserts.
Studs get put in until they bottom out; usually you just thread them in by
hand. Snap-On makes some real neat stud inserters, BTW.
