Hi Eric.
I hope this message finds you well. I’d appreciate your input in regards to my trucks current situation.
Topic: Auto parts store wheel studs, installed on a new front wheel bearing hub assembly; bought from the dealership.
Side Note: Sinking brake pedal after being bled since new hub installed
Mods:
8″ lift
35*13.5*20 federal tires
1/4 wheel spacerBackground:
200k KM on the odometer. I recently installed a front wheel bearing hub.
Since then, my wheel fell off while driving; twice.1.
Truck was recently brought out of storage, since installation of the hub assembly. Wheel fell off driving and the 1/4 inch wheel spacer – shattered.
Tire was reinstalled on the remaining 6 out of 8 wheel studs, without the wheel spacer.2.
Truck was OK driving for 3 days, going to and from work.3.
New studs came in from shipping and were installed.
I hammered out the broken studs. After removing and placing hub on a firewood round; hammered in the new studs. The wheel bearing hub came from the dealership. I drove roughly 1km and my wheel fell off with no spacer applied.4.
(6) wheel studs from the auto parts store were inserted via hammer, whilst stranded along the highway. New 1/4 spacer bought and installed.5.
Crawled truck home.5.
Installed new master cylinder. Currently, awaiting on a helper, to assist in bleeding. No fittings came with new master cylinder so, bench bleeding was not available at this time.6.
Did I mess my new hub up by hammering the studs in both times?7.
Thank you for your feedback and have a good night.
