we were talking about cutting off the ring. I did some redneck ingenuity and got the ring off without taking the bearing off. I ground a flat spot on two sides, drilled 3 1/4" holes on each one then beat a chisel all the way through on each side until it split! Worked good. I was kinda hesitant about using my blue wrench to cut off the ring. Now i can put in the new studs in and dont have to get the bearing pressed off.

has anyone ever just put grade 8 bolts in to hold the axle rather then the T bolts? Wouldn't this allow for easier removal...?

Mine has a few hex bolts that were shaved down on one side to work in place of the T bolts. I guess the previous owner lost a couple of the T bolts. Seems to work fine.

I mean between the rim and the axle. I've heard that sometimes they will cause the studs to break.
