Alright EvoM...I have searched and searched and searched, all I seen on here is a bunch of people that don't know that you can install the REAR Wheel Studs WITHOUT pulling the hubs off. I REPEAT, YOU DO NOT NEED TO PULL THE REAR HUBS OFF YOUR CAR.

You can do this install with HAND TOOLS, you don't even have to remove the castle nut on the axle.

Im not going to get into full details to get you to the point of where the pics show. Just a high level set of DIY instructions. The pictures will draw a picture of exactly what you need to do to make space for the ARP studs without completely removing the hubs.

1 - Raise evo off ground.
2 - Remove wheel
3 - Remove Brembo caliper
4 - Remove brake rotor
5 - Remove the E-Brake shoes
6 - Hammer stock studs out
7 - Unbolt the wheel hub from the back, (4 Bolts here)

Nope...wont fit...


DEFINITELY WONT FIT...


2 of the 4 bolts holding the hub are seen from this view:


Do as the picture says: (pry between that stud thingy and the hub, be careful to not damage that stud thing...)


The hub will gap right where that green line is. It will be enough space to fit the ARP Studs.


Once you get the ARP studs in, make sure you pulled them all the way through, then re-assemble EVERYTHING in reverse order.

E-Brake shoes
Brake rotor
Brembo caliper
then Wheel back on and put the car back on the ground...then have fun doing the other side too!!! LOL

Good luck!
