I have a 1986 XJ6 and the stud stripped out has anyone ever removed one of these or know how?

 

More information might be helpful here. What stud, engine head stud, wheel stud, etc. ?

 

Sorry a stud on the hub in the rear rotor.

 

No reason to be sorry, I just did American cars but, usually just pound it out and install a new one with an old lug nut with spacers to tighten it in.

 

The ***** Cat may get angry from the pounding!

 

Usually doesn't take much pounding, but if you have that tool or can borrow one, it's the way to go.

 

I'm about 98% positive that the studs are threaded in...likes this:

....and then the ends are staked over (or swaged, or whatever the word is). I think Jaguar did it that way for decades!

I wouldn't do any hammering, pounding, or pressing until I took a good look

After some research, I apologize for posting my above suggestions. I have never ran across these wheel studs.

I had this very problem on my car. Front lugs are pressed in, lug bolts on the rear are threaded from the inside and staked at the factory. Grind off the head in the back of the hub and merely unscrew it.

New lugs are available and can be merely threaded in the hole (clean it first) from the outside, after an application of Lock-Tite or similar.

I double nutted the new stud into place after a couple drops of Permatex Green Stud mount.
See pictures below.

EDIT: I have a picture of repair studs but I can't add it with the edit feature. I'll have to add it in another post.

 

I tried to add this picture to the post above but the edit function doesn't seem to work with attachments.
I found these at Welch. They come in various lengths.

Ok no its the inside stud by the brake caliper. I have it loose but it hits the pumpkin housing. Not enough room between the housing and where the rotor slides on.

 

Oh dear! I can't help you with that one, I've never been into it that far.

Sort of afraid to reply now since I was wrong about the studs that screwed in but, have had to take the hub off on some cars, or at least loosen them to make room for stud install. Wish I could see what your dealing with.

 

How do I add a pic from my phone

 

I assume you mean one of these. And if this is the stud you mean, yes - these pound out. You will need to get the gear set moving to position it for removal. But getting one BACK into position - properly - will be a challenge. You should consider dropping the cage to get good access. It really is not that bad. Just my opinion.

 

Another shot.

 

Man that looks good!!! Yeah I finally just started taring into it yesterday and figured it out. Those bolts that go into the housing come out then the caps slide out and pull all the bearings apart. I'm glad I did it because the bearings were shot so waiting on bearings and seals and new boots then back together and paint.

 

Where did you get those rotors at?

 

I found them on E-bay. There were not much more than stock, they should last longer and resist warping. Let me know if you need a link. Good luck!
