Re: SER1 Broken wheel studs

Hi Tony,

I replaced two on my Minerva last week -- the threads had opened up and 
they fell out (I ignored the first, but thought action might be 
appropriate after the second fell out on the same hub).  I used the II/IIA 
headed studs; drill out the old threads and pull them through with a lug 
nut with the taper removed.  There's a 'how-to' on one of the Series 
sites.  If Google doesn't fetch it I've got it somewhere on my computer. 
Took more time to pull the brake drum than fit the new studs.
