stripped hub, er drive flange studs

[DaveInDenver]

ARP (or equivalent) are a small investment for a part that will not strip, will not loosen (come with locking nuts, 13mm wrench but oh well), and are crawler proven.

Toss the OEM, JMHO.

I don't argue that the ARP studs are an upgrade over the OE ones, but the Toyota or equivalent parts are fine for stockish trucks and a batch of defective parts can happen to anyone. Now the argument of value is different, spending $70 should upgrade you over the stock, but if all you need is one $1 stud to match the other 5, it's easy to find a place to spend $69 elsewhere. Beer, beer, beer.

I would Heli-coil and start again!

BTDT with the FFs one the rear of my HZJ75. Once those suckers are "wallered" it will happen again. And again. I used to carry what I called my "axle kit" when I had that truck. Left handed drill bits, extractors, heli coil kit, new studs, cone washers, etc.

The problem with helicoils is mainly that they don't have as many threads as stock. They are good for a lot of things, but in my first hand experience they don't hold up to hard wheeling for hub studs.

The only real solution is a new hub. Some of my friends from down under wrote about redrilling and tapping for 10mm unbreakos, and Rob Mullen wrote that redrilling the holes for the dowel pins, and increasing the size of the dowel pins.

But yeah, my strong advice is just get new (to you) used hubs off parted out rig.

Again, my hubs are fine. I don't need a helicoil. it's the stud that goes into the hub.

Didn't get that right away. Want a new stud? I have a stash quicker than they can bring one (or six) into Denver. Gimme a hollar if you need a new stud (cone washers and split washers here too.

Happy cruisin'!

The studs that Jeff is refering to can be had from Toyota along with all the other goodies(dowels, cones, flats). They come on the 100 series. Maybe Christo will speak up. Did we not do this on some one truck many years ago.
I had Dan look at the gaskets and see if they will swap, they will not directly swap leading him to believe that the hubs maybe slightly bigger on the 100 or 105 in the rest of the world.
Anyhow the drive flanges would need to be re worked to hold the bigger cone washer. I was thinking that maybe the drive flange would fit, but again Dan did not think this would work because of the way the bolt pattern was(both flange gaskets had 6 holes). Anyhow this upgrade if you bought both flanges and studs, cones, washer, nuts would set you back about 170.00. A lot less if you were just buying studs, washers, cone washers, nuts.

Not to bad if you could make it work.

I am just going to order some more Toyota studs, and chalk this up for the time being to a bad batch of studs. I'll order them from a different dealer then the first, just in case that'll make a difference.

So Robbie are you talking about putting 100 series studs/cones/etc. on an 80? I didn't know this was an option... I'm going to see how the replacement stock 80 ones do before I switch anything. I'm also going to coordinate this with new brake pads & resurfacing my front rotors so it may be a bit, and of course I'll continue to wheel & drive on 5½ studs in the interim
