Question regarding replacing studs...
I am considering using a spacer in the rear and while searching, I was not able to come across an answer to my question. Is replacing the studs as easy as driving them out after taking off the face of the drum? OR...does one have to remove the pads, springs, pins etc....as well as the rear plate to drive out the studs and insert the new ones? I can't get my car on the lift as my other car is currently in the garage so...any insight would help.

why not use these http://shop.microimageonline.com/Rea...cers-PGHS1.htm
They come in 10 or 12mm thickness |

yah, just knock them out with a hammer, get an open ended nut, and tighten them back in!

and you can even use some m8(i think) bolts to get the drum off without tapping it with a hammer.... worked very well with mine.

I just looked at some pictures and it doesn't look like there is enough room to get the old studs out nevermind get the new ones in. Can somebody who has actually done this let me know if it's possible by only removing the drum face? Thanks again!

OK....so in the 07' Repair Manual it seems to state pictorally that you can indeed knock them out after simply removing the drum face. For those that went with the 10mm spacers....how much longer is the stud? Is it a full 10mm or is it more like 5mm? I am assuming that the lenght is negligible upon installation of the new studs. I really would love to confirm this. Thanks!

H&R studs are longer by exactly the width of the spacer. I can't answer for other brands.

Thanks for that bit of input. I am also curious as to how those who have done this keep the hub from turning when pulling the new studs through(that is aside from the screwdriver trick in the repair manual).

I pulled mine through with an electric impact wrench. Worked beautifully without spinning the hub.

Had to. Stock studs with a 10mm spacer only left me with approx 3 or 4 exposed threads for the wheel lugs to grip. Also explains why I responded about using an impact wrench to pull them through ;)

OK....was this on the front or rear? The reason I ask is because I am trying to find out if I am on the right track here. If it was the rear, can you install these by simply removing the drum face and hammering out the old studs while simply installing the new ones through the back of the hub face (using said washer, lugnut and impact)? I am trying to prepare myself for a simple 30 minute to 1 hour job as opposed to thinking it's super simple and spending 6 hours on it and being frustrated as all hell. Your input if greatly valued!

Question first. Are you installing hub spacers or wheel spacers?

Thought so, just wanted to be sure. Post#3 confused me a bit.
So yes, it is as simple as all that. - pull of drum - start a lug nut onto the stud to protect threads and tap out with a hammer - insert new longer strud through back of mounting plate. There are only a couple of spots within the drum where there will be enough room to slid the new studs in. - slid on washer and nut, and tighten down Done.
