Having finished up the swaybar bushings, I've moved on in my suspension rebuild project. I want to replace the wheel studs on my 71 which has the last of the L/R thread patterns and which are too short for the Daytona wheels.
In order to replace the studs, I have to take the hubs apart.
Some of the info I needed is in the thread below:
(http://www.alfabb.com/bb/forums/sus...arent-my-front-discs-hubs-coming-off-gtv.html)
but I didn't want to hijack that thread with my question.
A. How do I remove the wheel-hub cap? Is it just a press fit? Do I just grab it with channel-locks? Wack it with a flat blade driver and a BF hammer?
B. Where can I get a replacement for it? One of mine is dented and I haven't even touched it yet
. I don't find these in any of the 3 catalogs. I hate to do all this work and put a dented part back on if I don't have to.
If this is as tough as getting the two screws in the hubs loose, there's going to be some damage I suspect. Those cute little babies took two days and actually bent the driver blade on a 200 lb torque impact driver
Below is a pic to make it clear what I'm trying to describe.
