Hey guys, just joined up here. Looks like the 'other place' is a barren wasteland now.
I am working on an early bronco and going from drums to disc. I went with the BC bronco kit. Their design mounts the rotor to the inboard side of the axle flange and the wheel studs secure the rotors to the flange. The issue I have is the knurled part of the studs will not press into the holes on the axle shafts, the hole diameter is too small (or the stud is too big). They are not ford shafts, I am running 31 spline dutchman chromo shafts.
i called up bc broncos and they sent me a second set of studs but they are exactly the same. I know the studs they use are made by dorman. So I d/l the dorman catalog and went through all the studs they make and I concluded they dont make a stud that will work for what I got.
So I am wondering if it is possible to drill out the stud holes on the larger to take this stud? They are chrome moly but I dont know what grade, how hard, etc. Should I pull them and take them to a machine shop? Ditch this kit and put drums on? Im kinda stuck here
thanks
