Hi All,

I'm not near my car, so I can't check.

Can you replace the rear studs with the hubs still in the bearings?

Thanks,

Matt

I believe you should, but only one at a time. A tricky business that.

pull the rotor.... and the dust shield.....

get a c clamp....
rotate the hub unti you have a clear view of the head of the stud from the back...

you canb press em in and out, 1 stud at a time.

rotate, clamp. press in new stud.... repeat 10x.


pulling studs in is easy with a stack of washers (or a spacer) and using an open end nut and slowly tighten it until it bottoms

You can also use a large aluminum drift pin to drive the old ones out. and use the stack of washers or a set of old 914 front wheel bearings for the spacer to use to tighten the open ended nut against to pull the new stud into place. works great and doesn't take much time to do. Just use a little light lubricant like Liquid Wrench when you pull the new stud into place.
