If you are referring to the entire hub and bearing assembly: I had to wack it with a hammer on the brake hat to get it to come loose from the rust holding it.

If you are referring to the brake hat: I had to thread a bolt into the one of the two holes to get it to de-seat from the hub assembly.

Entire hub assembly. I hit the flange a good number of times but the thing is still stuck in there.

Even without the spacers on I was able to use my Leggdura 35mm nuts with space to spare....no need to run ugly open ended nuts.

I haven't done the rears yet because they wouldn't fit without removing the hub...and i was too lazy to do all that. Will do the rears next weekend.

Anyway these wheel studs are perfect for those who want something stronger than OEM but without having extra long studs sticking out.


are the nismo studs holding up? are you using it on track as well? thanks

Sorry to resurrect an older thread, but I thought I'd add some information that I couldn't find in my quest to add spacers with longer studs. The company that sent me my spacers didn't send me the right studs. When I asked they send me the right ones, they sent me longer studs, but they were still about 2 mm too short to get the correct length of engagement with the lug nuts.

When I went looking for correct studs, I couldn't find definitive information on the various stud lengths. So in the hopes of saving some of you what I went through, here are some measurements - all measured from the bottom of the head.

Stock wheel studs - 42 mm
Vorshlag "65 mm" - 59 mm
ARP studs - 76 mm (but thread length is about 68 mm)

In my case, I ended up using the Vorshlag studs in the front with a 15 mm spacer and the ARP studs in the rear with a 20 mm spacer. I am able to use closed end lug nuts all the way around, but only after I ground most of the unthreaded portion of the ARP studs down so they were about 70 mm total length.

Hope someone out there finds this helpful.

I can't (quickly) find a good picture, but if you look at the one below, notice the thin, round part above the hex faces. There's also a notch in the axle. You'll hit a screwdriver or something on that thin part of the nut in to the notch to keep it from backing out.



Edit: This one shows someone taking one off, but you can see the notch and the nut crushed in to it. FYI, you really aren't supposed to reuse these crush-type axle nuts because of this. But I always have.



One more edit: Do this.

So guys, if you're installing these Nismo 50mm studs on the rear, all you need to do is remove rotors and hammer out the old stud. Also used an impact wrench with washers to fit the new studs make installation a breeze. Few zaps and new studs are secured!
Thanks @Fizz

Stupid me I was in a hurry to change over to my winter wheels/tires and accidentally cross threaded one of my rear studs and ruining the lug nut in the process.

Great to know that I don't need to remove the hub. I will be installing just another oem stud so I assume I should have plenty of room.

I just completed installing new studs on the rear. Now I have a check engine light and error code p0500. Something to do with vehicle speed sensor. I removed them and replaced them as instructed. I'm not sure why I am getting the error. Suggestions?

First time doing rear extended studs. So due to three New England winters, my car is pretty rusted up.

Attempt #1 ended up with not being able to get the stud assembly thing out.

Attempt #2, did some research and bought a slide hammer. The whole assembly was rusted together and instead of pulling it all out, I just got stud carrier thing (?) as pictured:





I was able to slide hammer it all back in... I was wondering if there were any repercussions to pulling that out? I think I probably should have regreased it but I didn't have any at the time.

Did a quick drive around and everything sounded fine. Anything I should note by pulling the whole bearing out?

I unscrewed, removed, replaced, and screwed in both sensors again. I disconnected the battery.

The error code came back up. I cleared the code. Powered off the car and back on and the code is still there.

Does it say which wheel sensor? I can't recall if the BRZ/FRS use a VSS or just base VSS off all 4 wheel sensors or a specific one.
@Books - that's normally a bad thing for the bearing. I'd replace that if it were me but at the very least keep a close watch on it.

I'm using torque on Android. It did not say which sensor.
