Working with new studs from S-I to press into my front Lark hubs. They have the original smooth shank (non-splined) and the correct shoulder and length. being smooth, they are an interference fit by design.
While I managed to get one in with some heat, some WD-40 and a lot of hits with a maul, I let a local shop try and put in the rest in a field with a 3 ton press now looking for other machine shops in the area which seem to be as rare as hens teeth these days.
Any secrets out there from what folks have used? 6 ton press? Heating the bolt not the hub, heating both, etc.?
Much appreciated.
