How can this be fixed

[mutt_r]

I had problems to get my wheel from the hub. Finally it happened and it was a little bit tricky. Thanks to Loctite which was helpful, too.

Now the question. From the -34P I can see that it should be a bolt with a ribbed shoulder. But mine isn't ribbed. How can I get the bolt (steel) into the hub (aluminium) not to get any trouble again? Loctite can't be the solution and I cannot weld steel and aluminium. Or can I?

Thanks in advance for any better idea.

It need not be a ribbed bolt shoulder if it is a tight press fit. The ribbed section is only to help tighten the fit up and also to keep the stud from spinning when the nut is tightened onto it. I would suggest using grease on the threads upon assembly if you cannot find new studs with ribs. All you can do is reassemble and try it. If it spins we can go another direction.

A look at the parts TM shows an NSN number of 5306004040781 or 5306004040782. Manufacturers SKU# 11640930.

Here are the specs for the first number. http://www.parttarget.com/5306-00-404-0781_5306004040781_11640930.html

Maybe you could knurl the area on a lathe.

Could you take a center punch and go around the thing at a angle and raise up some metal. Then use locktight for bearing and stud.

If you have some time, patience, and a way of supporting the the bolt, like in a "V" block, using a sharp chisel held parallel to the bolt you can come close to replicating the original raised ribs.
I have done this before with fairly good success.

Do this. When I have a truck come in that has spun wheel bearings before, i will take a punch and score up the surface with punch marks, then press in the race. You need a knurl on there or else it will spin again.

Thanks a lot, I'll try it. And patience is the right word at all.
