Can I convert screw in studs to press in by drilling and then installing press ins?
Long story short.. I boogered up some threads on my studs by bottoming out a closed end lug on a set of shortened screw in studs. Took the axles to a machine shop and asked them to remove them and then clean up the threads on the stud holes on the axles so I could install new thread in studs. Well... that didnt work because when I got the axles home to install new thread ins they f'in fixed the threads alright, they fixed em so good there is a couple studs per axle that are cocked SIDEWAYS... they chased the threads uneven and created new threads that are not straight.
Anyways... at this point I would like to just have a DIFFERENT machine shop drill out the holes so I can install press ins.
Is this possible? I have no idea... never heard of it but would like to do this if its possible.
Thanks in advance.
