Description

Now Supplied with USA made Drill Bits!! (We make everything else in house)

Please Note:  We do NOT make a drill guide to change the number of lug studs (4 to 5 lug, 6 to 5 lug).  There is not enough material left between one of the new holes and an existing hole to deem it safe and acceptable.  Also our guide needs to rotate for each hole drilled, therefore it is not possible to rotate the guide 4 times to drill 5 holes.  In this case, new axles should be made to accommodate the change in lug studs. (I get this question often so I have stated it at the beginning)

 

Wheel Bolt/Lug Drill Guides allow you to drill out your axle and drum/disc brakes to a different bolt pattern.  No need to purchase new axles to just change bolt/lug pattern.

 

Please read all the information carefully before purchase!

​It’s important to determine if your axles and flanges are a good candidate for re-drilling. On both axles inspect the locations of the new holes to find if there are any obstructions, pre-existing holes, or thin material that could cause failure of the components.

If you are drilling a Ford 9″ axle, check to see if there is a large access hole in the flange.  If so, this drill guide will NOT work as the new lug pattern will fall within this hole and not allow for a complete redrill.

 

Parts included:

  • Drill guide
  • Instruction Sheet
  • Set of SHARP brand-new drill bits
  • Red Caps (If the multi-patterned drill guide is purchased)

Tools you will need: LOW SPEED drill, cutting oil, and torque wrench.

 

Please note that re-drilling requires removal of the brake components (to prevent damage) but DOES NOT REQUIRE REMOVAL OF AXLE

 

Important! Drill Guides are set up to drill for 0.625” knurl lug studs and 1/2″ diameter.

Check your wheels to make sure they can accept 1/2″ studs.  If you need a guide for 7/16″ studs, we can change out the guide tube and drill bit to accommodate.  Please contact us for this request prior to ordering.

 

Reference of Dorman Part numbers for common size wheel studs: wheel_stud_guide

 

Need help choosing which guide to order:  Click on the photo above and you can use the reference chart to help you verify the correct guide for the combination lug pattern you need.

 

YOU ARE LIABLE IF RE-DRILLING WEAKENS THE COMPONENTS’ AND CAUSES FAILURE. IF YOU ARE UNSURE YOU MAY WANT TO HAVE A MECHANICAL ENGINEER LOOK AT THE PARTS TO DETERMINE IF RE-DRILLING IS SAFE.

NOTE:  We do NOT make a drill guide to change the number of lug studs (4 to 5 lug, 6 to 5 lug).  There is not enough material left between one of the new holes and an existing hole to deem it safe and acceptable.  In this case, new axles should be made to accommodate the change in lug studs.

    The order was received quickly and the drill guide looks to be of good quality. I would recommend to others.

  2. Gary T. (verified owner) – January 14, 2022

    because of hand feed, I would use 3 drills to better chip control. finish size needs to be controlled by user, there are hundreds of wheel studs, I had to look through NAPA
    stock book to find stud 384 (on back of stud) to work with 39/64 finish drill. heat treated guides would be sweet too.
    But for the price, that is personal. I also used blue lock tight on stub pulling stud into flange using 1″ dia round with 1/2″ hole with 82 deg counter sink to match wheel nut for a guide, using 1/2″ NAPA impact at 140lbs. my stud was m12 x 1.5. 4.75″ bolt circle.

    The guide itself was well made and worked well. I will say that the smaller drill bit was complete junk. I was only able to get two holes out of it. An old used dewalt bit I had laying around was able to get me through the rest of the job. Again great piece but I wish they offered it without the bits.

    While I have not been able to use it yet since I had it shipped to another state where my car is, the customer service/response was fast/great when I asked for assistance trying to figure out where/why FedEx sent the part on a western U.S. tour before finally arriving to it’s final destination.

    Nice guide but unfortunately I have to return it cause my axles in my chrysler 8 3/4 have access holes in them and one of the studs would go there. I wasn’t thinking they had them like the 9″ Ford has.
