Subject:      pressing in lug stud
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

Heya,
Tomorrow morning I'm tackling the rear drums on my 80 Westy.  I've got:
new shoes, new drums, and new wheel cylinders.  All parts are brand
new.  :)  A few questions, though, for the experienced...

1.  Must I "dip" the wheel cylinders in brake fluid before installing?
2.  Do I have to remove the axle nut and remove the hub in order to
press in a new lug stud?
3.  Do I just pound the old (broken off end) stud back through the
housing?
4.  What's the story with using a lugnut to "pull the stud into place?"
5.  Where's the brake fluid reservoir on an 80 Vanagon?  (I can't find
it :(

Thanks a bunch, and I'll send a full report after tomorrow's circus,
pictures included as always.
Best,
Chris Gkikas
