Reply to "Wheel Stud ... stripped what to do"

@Michael McKelvey- A '66 VW was my first car- I was a senior in high school (17 years old?) and I'm sure that within 1 1/2 or 2 years I'd done my first brake job (and needed the 3/4" drive bar and socket). And as a kid- 150-160 lbs, 18" away from the socket, a little extra bounce to line up the cotter pin holes and voila! (note, you 'Muricans, how that lovely French word is spelled- Gene Berg didn't particularly care for being told 'whala' wasn't actually a word!) with thousands of miles on bugs with more hp, bracket racing, slaloming and then a Baja Bug with 28 or 29" tires I've never had a drum come loose.

          AND ALWAYS INSTALL THE COTTER PIN!!!
