I am currently attempting my ls1 front brake swap. I just got my hubs back from the machine shop. I have the 610-323 dorman wheel studs, with the .504 inch knurl. Do i need to drill the hubs or should I just press them in?

Thanks

When I did it I just popped them in.

i just did mine and i let the shop decide-they mic'ed and decided to drill out a little so there would be less chance of cracking a hub.

If you need help, or a reference to look at (C5 is almost the same), I'm almost around the corner. I'm home most weekends.

Drill is needed for the ARP wheel studs. Think it was like a 12mm bit.

The OEM replacements no drilling is necessary. Just brass hammer the bitches from the backside!

The dorman studs are over sized. I decided to drill out the holes using the 31/64 bit. I will let you guys know how it goes.

I did not drill the hole out to 31/64, I was already able to fit the bit through the hole. Everything went as planned using a vise and deep socket.
