Re: [Amc-list] Wheel studs for '65 American - what size?

YEah, I just pop in wheel studs of the correct overall length and
not worry about that crimp shoulder. That's for AMCs convenience,
it's not needed. They'll center on the cone on the lugnut.

They will be just loose enough to pull the drum without removing the hub. Can't see a thing wrong with that! The factory makes sure they are firmly held to the hub to make it easier for production line workers to assemble.
