i want to switch my rear axle wheel studs from 7/16 to 12mm. the knurle of the metric stud is larger than the 7/16 stud. if the metric dimension is 12.7mm (.501"), what dimension do i need to drill the axle?
thank you, thats the kind of info i was hoping to get. i checked my fraction drill set, i need something between 31/64ths and 1/2. i'll need to do more research, but either way, its cheaper than two axle shafts.for a wheel stud you'll need around .005" interference fit and no less than .002" A 12.5 mm drill bit will open the hole to .492" which will be good. You can get a more accurate hole with a reamer but they get kind of expensive.
