Lug studs

[gonz8900]

so i searched and found out how to do the rear but still unsure of how to do the front. 12 bolt in the rear is easy to do just have to pull off drum and pop out. But on the front all the posts that i have seen start with undoing your locking hubs and then go deeper. Well i don't have locking hubs. I have a 78 K5 with full time 4x4 and not sure where to start. Any help?

Also does anyone know all the dimensions for the wheel studs. So far i have seen on other posts about 7/16", 1/2", 14mm, Knurl? I know that 7/16 is the thread size but what does everything else mean. Do I have to know about all this when i get new studs.

Well, if yours has just drive slugs, it'll be a little easier, since you don't have to mess with the lockouts. You're gonna have to remove the drive slugs and bearing nuts to pull the hub off. Don't forget to pull the caliper outta the way. Then you'll have access to the back of the studs. The only special tool you need is the 4-lug socket for the bearing nuts.
