Value Collection 97307 Wheel Stud 1/2-20 1-29/32 in Oal

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 97307 is a wheel hub bolt stud designed for securing wheels to hub assemblies in automotive and light-duty vehicle applications. This stud features a 1/2-20 thread size and an overall length (OAL) of 1-29/32 inches, with a 0.543-inch knurl diameter for a secure press-fit into the hub flange. The 21/32-inch shoulder length provides proper seating depth during installation. Technicians and fleet service professionals install this type of stud as a direct replacement when existing studs are stripped, damaged, or sheared during service.

This wheel stud is suited for standard hub replacement work on passenger vehicles and light trucks. It is commonly installed during brake service, bearing replacement, or hub assembly swaps where one or more studs are found to be damaged. The 1/2-20 thread pitch is a widely used specification in domestic vehicle hub assemblies, making this stud a frequently needed consumable in automotive service bays.

• 1/2-20 thread size for compatibility with standard lug nuts used in domestic vehicle applications

• 0.543 inch knurl diameter for press-fit retention in hub flange bore
• 21/32 inch shoulder length ensures accurate seating depth at the hub face
• Sold individually, with a minimum order quantity of 2 units

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement wheel stud for passenger vehicles and light-duty trucks using a 1/2-20 threaded hub stud configuration. Verify hub bore diameter and knurl specification against the original stud before installation.

Installation Notes

Wheel stud replacement is typically performed by an automotive technician using a hydraulic press or a stud installation tool to drive the stud through the hub flange without damaging the bearing or rotor surface. Always remove wheel, tire, and brake components as needed to access the hub before pressing out the damaged stud. Do not use an impact wrench to pull the stud into place via the lug nut, as this method can damage the hub bore and distort the stud. Follow vehicle manufacturer service procedures and applicable safety standards when working on wheel-end components.
