[BaadAssGremlins] Re: Wheel lug removal

["Dan M." <vegadan@xxxxxxxxx>]

Doc,

I was reading the tsm for 1973 and there is a section detailing the 
removal of the hub from the rear axle.  I'm not sure if my 77 is the 
same, but if it is, does it make sense to remove the hub first, and 
then pound out the studs on my work bench?  I'm afraid that pounding 
on the studs while the hub is stil attached to the axle my cause some 
internal damage to the rear end.  I've never dome this before, so I 
have no idea.

Thanks for your help,
Dan
