Moroso Press-In Wheel Studs - 1/2in-20 x 3in - 5 Pack for Ford 9" and GM Performance Hubs
Moroso Press-In Wheel Studs deliver reliable wheel retention for Ford 9-inch rear ends, GM 10-bolt and 12-bolt axles, and other 1/2-20 hubs in classic muscle cars and drag builds. The 3-inch overall length supports wheel spacers, deep-dish wheels, and slicks without compromising strength. Built from heat-treated steel with knurling for a rock-solid press fit, these studs handle high-horsepower launches and track abuse.
Key Features
- Knurled Shank: 1.750 inch grip length locks into hub bores to prevent rotation under torque
- Thread Specs: 1/2-20 right-hand threads match factory lug nuts and provide 5/8 inch thread depth for secure fastening
- Extended Length: 3 inches overall allows clearance for beadlock wheels, spacers up to 1.5 inches, and low-profile tires
- Steel Construction: Heat-treated alloy withstands 10,000 pound pull-out force for safety at 200 mph
- Pack Size: Set of 5 covers one axle side or quick replacements during race weekends
Product Notes
- Inspect hub bores for damage before pressing in new studs
- Apply anti-seize to threads for easy lug nut removal after races
- Packaged in protective tube to prevent bending during transit
Installation Notes
- Professional installation recommended.
- Use hydraulic arbor press or bench vise with proper adapters to seat studs flush
