Planning on replacing my front wheels studs tomorrow with the longer ones that came with my 10mm Ichiba spacers. Just wondering if its necessary to remove the brake pad bracket, Caliper and Rotor to hammer the old studs out and pull the new ones in? Or can i just leave everything intact and just hammer out one wheel stud at a time and pull the new one in? Any info you guys can provide would be greatly appreciated.

P.S. I've already read through the DIY posts and was wondering if anyone's tried doing it as mentioned above.

 

Just follow this:

This one is even easier IMO.

In short, Yes the caliper and caliper bracket need to come off. Its still not a hard task to do.
