Rob, I'm doing the same job on my mate's SIIA, can you please clarify why I need to recess the heads on the press-in splined studs? There seems to be plenty of clearance on the back of the hub.Agree re above, you need to get the punched part of the stud off before you wind it out through the hub. You may be able to gind a punch to fit so you can hit the straked part back. When I did this I used a Dremel to grind them off. If the thread has had it you can drill out the hole to 16 mm and fit a press in S3 M16 type but you have to make a recess for the head, I think its 11/16 x 3/32 deep. The 16mm stud will fit most drums as they only seem to sell drums with 16mm holes now. I've done one of my hubs (one had been done so I had odd nuts on one axle) and its not a bad job, you just need a bench drill, some blacksmiths drills and some spare nuts to pull the new studs in.
You only need to recess if the studs will be short on the other side. It’s worth setting it up with a wheel on to see how things fit. The threads should come right through the nut a few turns.Rob, I'm doing the same job on my mate's SIIA, can you please clarify why I need to recess the heads on the press-in splined studs?
