Wheel Studs

#1 Post by Bruce69Camaro » Mon Jul 25, 2011 9:48 am

I don't have access to a press, so what is the easiest way to install new wheel studs on my rotors?

I was told I can simply knock out the original ones (which are short studs) and slide the new ones in, put a washer and nut on the other side and tighten up the nut and pull them on.

Yes/ No?

Here's what I did... Anti-seize, a long lug nut and my impact wrench.

Mine might be painted but you got one thing over me, mine will never be as fast, and you can take that one to the bank!

Oh and I just found out I got access to a press, so my worries are over.

I want to know what's the problem here?

I started a post about wheel studs and right away, as normal this NOVA guy, whom must have my scent, comes along and highjacks my thread and runs away with it.

Now Rodney King is involved, who's next, the Al Sharp?

Next thing you know he's going to be saying that we're all a bunch of wannabe's, heads up, test-n-tune racers, that don't no chit, have done nothing and will never be as fast as his NOVA is.

Oh yea, Chris1320Racer, have a nice day and make sure that if you can't see the blades spinning, you don't climb up on a ladder to see where they are at :smt005 :smt005
