Default Fitting aftermarket wheels- removing those stud thread things!

Hi all

i KNOW this has been covered before but i cannot for the life of me find anywhere either in the Top 100 FAQ's or a stick in the wheel forum or searching, someone take me out of my misery!

How do i remove those stupid studs on the hubs that stop u fitting aftermarket wheels. Those little short threaded bolt things. I dont even know what to call them. . .

Cheers, and maybe it can be added to common questions.


regards

Jamie

Its a 10mm bolt. If its tight and the hub turns when you try and break it lose have someone hold the brakes and then you can break it lose. Easy stuff

Oh i see, i thought a fancy tool was needed no? it has a short thread on it and then 2 little holes, one above it and one below it, like it needs some special tool to remove them.

thx
