Looking for Bratton’s 1560T rear hub bearing seating tool, or current substitute.

I apparently have stripped the top thread on one bracket hold down stud post. Haven’t been able to find a picture showing whether the stud base is welded, or held at the base with a nut. Seems like it should be a nut as the replacement studs are threaded at both ends. Floorboard is out so if I...
