Help with longer wheel studs!
I bought longer wheel studs for my spacer and I can not put ont the new wheel studs. I have already removed the old studs. Does anyone know of a way to put on the new stud. Do I have to take the hub off? Thanks .
You don't say "why" you can't put the new studs on. Are they the wrong size? Are they the correct studs (Nismo or other)?
The easiest way without removing the hubs and using a press is to use a lug nut. Tighten the lug nut on the hub until the stud seats. You can use some washers on the stud if the threads do not go all the way to the hub and also so you don't have to tighten the nut very far (i.e, place the stud at the back of the hub, place the washers over the outside of the stud on the outside of the hub, place the lug nut on the stud and tighten until seated). An impact wrench works wonders for this, but don't over-tighten - you don't want to break it off.
