Studs are pressed into the hub, the rotor slides over the hub and onto the studs. The studs DO NOT press into the rotor like they do on some other cars.

If you still don't understand there is a thread somewhere on how to install extended studs.

OH, well then I guess I'll just go back the Civic forum. If I got the rotors wrong on the 350Z, so be it... no need to be an ***hole.

BTW, I've never owned a Civic, though I replaced quite a few rotors in my day. I've also never been in a car forum before, and was simply offering advice. If it's wrong, please point it out.

Too - and this is important - the OP stated he didn't have time to replace the studs, as the rotor also had to be replaced. One could easily assume from that statement that the studs were, in fact, mounted to the rotor. If the studs aren't mounted to the rotor, one would think it would be a no-brainer to replace it if you were replacing studs, as the rotor would have to come off anyway.

The MEAT of my post is still accurate - replacement of the rotor doesn't complicate the replacement.

4 days and no photos. Unverified “Dealer broke my car” threads are becoming the norm.

Why anyone would expect broken wheel studs to be replaced under warranty is beyond me.
