since ive seen a few asked and no one really replied, heres what i did to install my extended studs
have a set of lug nuts you dont care about cuz they'll get fucked up!!
remove wheel, brake caliper, brake rotor, axle nut
use the lugs you dont care about and bolt on that 'dinosaur foot' to the studs. its the thing on the left. youre gonna use the middle one of the bottom 3 and the single top one
screw on the slide hammer to the 'dino foot'
slide hammer that mo-fo out!! make sure you slide it out/away from the middle of the car
its gonna take a lot of time (took me 40ish minutes for each hub)
your hands will hurt so be sure to have a buddy to take turns.. or have him do all the work
when hub is out
bang out the old studs with a hammer
bang in the new studs with a hammer as fas as you can
put the hub back on the car and use the axle nut to pull it back in a bit
*CAUTION - if installed crooked, you have a possibility to break/damage the wheel bearing. having extra wheel bearings would be good to have
use close ended wrenches to hang on one of the studs (as much as you need) and use the lug nuts you dont want over the wrenches to tighten the lugs onto the studs
when all the studs are in, tighten the axle nut and spin the hub to make sure the studs arnt hitting the knuckle. if it is, do the wrench thing again.
feel free to leave a message here or shoot me an email.
