Hi all. I just picked up a set of ARP extended wheel studs and managed to get the fronts installed fine, but the rears are proving to be a big PITA. Damn e-brake assembly. Anyway, I searched the How-To section and was able to find help with the fronts, but the rears... Any tips or advice here? I'm assuming I need to take off the whole wheel hub, but idk.

 

From what I have read, the proper way is to take off the hub and press out the studs. Then install the new studs and tighten/set them using a nut.

 

I was able to do one without taking off the hub. The stud came out pretty easily just tapping with a hammer once I got the rotor off. Getting the rotor off was the hard part.

To get the rotors off, there are two threaded holes in the rotor - at least on mine a bolt nearby holding a retaining clip for the brake line was the correct size to go in there.

Anyways, thread the bolt through those holes and it will get the rotor free. Like I said, I don't know about all 5 or extended studs - but I was able to remove and replace just one without pulling the hub off.
