Here is what I tried:
1 - Slid stud in from back of hub
2 - Placed socket over stud with washer
3 - Put nut on stud and tightened a tad
4 - Checked stud started to draw into hub straight
5 - Started tightening and stopped when firm
Splines still have not come through fully.
I don't want to strip thread or kill the yield strength of stud.
THoughts?
How do I remove the hub?
have a look on the back of the hub and see if the flange of the stud has stopped shy of the hub or is the flange hard up against the back of the hub.
1. Tap off the grease cap
2 pull the split pin
3. undo the nut
4. remove the hub
5. rest the hub flange on something solid so that the stud can be driven through without damaging the thread
6. place the hub back on the axel
7. do up the nut until just firm , then back off the nut until the split pin will fit in a hole should be less that 1/6 of a turn
8. tap on the graese cap
9. finished

Finga - The splines fit half way but don't go further.
I can't remove the hub because the bottom bolt for caliper will not clear the leaf spring.
Now I have to jack/tilt up boat/trailer on one(1) side to compress that spring (alot) so that the bolt clears it so it can be taken out .. Too scary for me. How do I do this safely without it falling on me and damagaing the hull?
Thanks

Is it a RM trailer with the caliper bolt next to the spring ?
It is a dunbier trailer with original springs and new axle/hub assy.
Here is a pic of the wheel studs:
Old (right), New (left).
What do u guys think - same spline detail?
SOme picis of the spring/caliper bolt clearance
What were you tightening the nut with to pull the stud through?? I hope it wasn't the shifter in the picture.
How much force were you using??
Have you got a tension wrench??
They take a bit of pulling in. A bit more force is needed to pull in then to whacking out and if my memory is correct you had a tad bit of trouble in the whacking out process.
A wheel brace should be able to pull them in no worries though.
I hope this isn't why the studs broke to start with. :(

I think your axel is a bit short and that is the source of your problem with the caliper bolts:-/
