Thanks, Matt. At the moment, I have no space for a H press, I need something to work on my bench. Any brands you would recommend? Alex

20C$ = 16 US$ and Moog is middle range stuff, they have never been on my list of parts to be purchased, they have nothing to do with what I have in place right now. The car is old, I cannot complain if a wheel stud stripped after 21 years, but if it happens again on another wheel, I will do the...

It's all done. In order to avoid any risk, I took the whole assembly to a mechanic, he has a 25T press, he heated and removed it in 15 min. I took the whole thing back home, I cleaned everything, put the new wheel stud(s) and re-pressed myself using a vise and a piece of wood to hammer the...
