I've been looking at a few threads on installing extended studs. From what I've gathered looking at a thread I found: the user removed ebrake and then removed the 4 bolts off of the hub assembly and pulled the hub off a little.

Can't I just remove the axle nut and pull the hub off a little and then install the extended studs?

I think I'm going to need a after doing this

Update: definitely a PITA because there are so many parts to take off just to get to those studs. It took about 4 hours with some breaks in between. I took some pictures if anyone needs them.

 

I heard they're a real pain in the *** to install.

 

Yup that's what I've read so far, too. I'm getting the studs by Wednesday so hopefully it doesn't take long to install and I can drive the car by Thursday to get it aligned.

 

I've tried installing extended studs in the rear, and its definitely a pain. I removed the e-brake assembly and everything. You have to pull the hub off some to get enough room.

 

Thanks. I'll see how it goes.

 

replaced my one rear hub the other day. took about an hour.

i got some TougeFactory extended studs that where just short enough to get in without removing the rear hub. not sure what size they were though.
