Default questions about nuts and studs...

ok looking at 1/2 studs for the rear axles, just got the ARP-100-7713 12mm x 1.5 3.5" for the fronts.

now I'm looking at 1/2" studs for the rear but theres a few different ones on summit, not sure what knurl length i need/want nor what knurl diameter...

basically I'm pretty damn confused on what rear studs to run.



ARP-100-7703 knurl diameter = .0625 knurl length = .400 underhead 3.500 in.


ARP-100-7705 knurl diameter = .0680 knurl length = .400 underhead 3.125 in


ARP-100-7706 knurl diameter = .0568 knurl length = .710 underhead 2.970 in.



ARP-100-7707 knurl diameter = .0618 knurl length = .800 underhead 3.050 in.

i'm pretty sure the 7703 is the one I want because its 3.5" correct? other than that im lost.

what about lugnuts?

Does your 9 inch have press in studs in the axles? My moser axles have screw in studs. The lugs would depend on which wheel you use. You can get 1/2x20 acorns for stock wheels but they need to be open ended with the 3.5" studs

thanks, not sure, I'll have to go check if they are press/screw in. do the axles only take one type of stud?

or could I change them to press in?

alright they are press in on the rear, now removing them I have to drill a hole thru the backing plate where the ABS/traction controls sensor would be correct?

its either that or remove the 9 inch completely and get the axles pressed off?

my axles are already drilled for 1/2" studs in the rear, so all I need to do is drill a hole in the backing plate where the sensor is suppose to be to fit those big ol nuts in the hole

Chad,

You got it, drill the hole in that spot and you can slide them in through there. It's going to be a bitch getting those pressed in studs in all the way though. I've never done pressed in studs on the rear with the axles in. I like the threaded axles for that reason.

Good luck...
