Location: Tucson, AZ | I'm overdue on getting back to this but wanted to let you know I found a way to fix the studs that were broken on the front wheels. First we tried to find a stud that would fit--looked a long time and there were none. So then looking through all sources we found ones that could be adapted.
The Stud is part number M-2448 from Brake and Wheel Parts in Chicago. I had a local machine shop cut down the shoulder and machine and cut threads on the other side. Then because the spline diameter was bigger than the original, he drilled out the hub so they fit. They are working great.
The attached picture shows the original on the left and the new one on the right. Any questions give me a call/text. I don't log on as much as I should--too much going on in life.
Best,

Coach 584
P.S. After letting the coach sit for a few years with a blown head gasket and a really bad transmission (it had been run low on coolant and low on transmission fluid before I bought it), I finally confronted it. Had a new transmission put in, rebuilt the top end of the engine (Detroit Diesel 8.2L), replaced all the gaskets, replaced the injectors (they were leaking from sitting too long), treated all the frame rust (original owner from Wisconsin), added more floor cross members (rust had done a job on them), replaced the carpet with tile and reupholstered the cushions. It's running well and everything seems to be working, but so far only short trips.
