NAPA part # needed for early Ford wheel studs

[Harrison]

My front drums came off a '40 front end and the old wheel studs are 1/2 - 20 thread. Total length is right at 1.25 inches with about 3/8 being the knurled area and about 7/8 being threaded.

When the local NAPA looked them up they came up with a part number for a 7/16 stud - slightly too small. Maybe my drums came from something other than a '40 but without knowing exactly what, they say they can't look them up.

You know the drill, we've all been through it a hundred times - if the computer doesn't list it they have no idea what to look for.... and they won't let me go pilfer through the shelves in back.

Anyone know a part # or know what year early Ford would have come with these 1/2 - 20 x 1.25 thread wheel studs?

TIA, JH

Don't know the number, but it might be easier to order it from Mac's anyway. Then you know you have the right part.

I remember years ago trying to get some locally and they couldn't find any through my parts store. They've got that notch on the side, right?

harrison,
when you go to napa,(or any parts store),check and see if they have a DORMAN catalog,or equivalent.
best i remember they have pics of available studs,with dimensions.
take an old one with ya',and your calipers or a micrometer.
they may have to order them,but chances are what ya' need will be pictured.
hope this helps.

The NAPA store i do business with has the DORMAN box with all the studs,,,,,just take the one that is a screwed up with you and ask to look at them,,,,,usually not a problem!
Good luck...HRP

Try looking at Dorman part number# H132

My BFH isn't big enough to knock an old one out. I was going to get the new ones and take them to be pressed out/in.

Thanks for that #. I'll give it a shot tomorrow.

Soak them with WD-40 and don't be afraid to use the 3 pound fine adjustment tool.(bigger friggin' hammer) http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif HRP

Make sure you support the hub underneath when you press or whale away on those studs. On the '40 setup you can bend the drum if you don't. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif

Harrison,

Git yer self a ReallyHugeFH. I've had good luck in the Dorman bin. If that doesn't work, call Moser engineering. They normally have a really good selection. I have found them to be very knowledgeable.

Now Im back to the hell known as workin way too much.

Talk to ya soon and gve me a call or shoot me an E-mail if you need a number for them.

im a parts guy and i work ina machine shop, the dorman number you would have came up with is incorrect(ive been through it) the best thing to do is find a stud that is the correct length and drill the hub to match it! i forget what the amount of press-fit is but the dorman book will give you a knurl dia. just drill a few sizes below that. the other problem with pressing out the studs is that they are steaked in place(look closely) you need a special cutter to remove this first before i would try to press-em out. But thats just what ive done, I think i could find the part number i used if interested let me know!

[Harrison]

Mentioning the one, flat side on the heads of what I need just blew the minds of the local parts monkeys. Screw it.

I called Dennis Carpenter. Part #01A-1107-A, $1 each. They'll be here Monday.

Thanks, JH

I thought so. That flat side on the head keeps it from spinning. There are no knurls on it.
