This isn't going my way. Sensor 10mm bolt is off. 4, 14mm bolts from behind are off. Big 32mm axle nut is off. Am I missing something? This damn thing is not coming off!

Did you remove the sensor or just the 10mm bolt? You have to remove the sensor as well. You may have to hammer the axle out to free the hub assembly from the drum assembly.

Yea, I had everything removed. It really needed some lovin. I ended up having to pry it off with a flathead all around. The dirt/gunk made it difficult, but that one is done at least!

Just had a wheel stud replaced last week on the back. Just so you guys know, you don't have to take off the axel nut to expose the studs. There are two threaded holes on the rotor/drum that you can use to insert a bolt that basically pushes it out evenly if you alternate one after another. Just don't know the size. I think it's the same for the front IIRC.

Yep.

I don't know the size either. I know I don't have a bolt that fits.

I was doing this with a member. What he did was used a larger washer and then a nut that threaded on. Then used an open end lug nut and used an impact drill and just tighten which pulled the stud. No need to remove the hub and the threads were perfect. This guy is smart

No need to remove hub if you're fitting stock or slightly longer than stock wheel studs. But if you're fitting the ARP studs for example, you'll definitely have to remove hub. But yes, tightening the studs with an impact wrench is waaay easier and faster than doing it manually.

I didn't have any problems fitting my ARP long studs with the hub in place.

Rear as well? How did u manage to wriggle it in with all the e-brake mechanism in the way? My nismo stud were only slightly longer than stock and it juuust squeezed in.

Oh, not rear. I only did the fronts.

As you can see they're only 10mm longer than stock studs, which is more than sufficient for spacers up to that thick. 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.

Where did you purchase the nismo stud?

Might be a stupid question or I missed it somewhere but, do I need to put spacers on with these apr studs? I don't want to put them in just for them to be too long and not tight. Thanks!
