SD_GOON Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 I am trying to replace my wheel studs and I am stuck removing the wheel hub. I know I'm almost there but I can't seem to figure it out. I have uploaded pics of my progress. Any and all help will be appreciated. Quote Link to comment

Eagle_Adam Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 i have two work benches in my garage, i just spaced them far enough apart to hold the hub and beat the shit outta the rotor. Quote Link to comment

Eagle_Adam Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 Klotz, you never cease to amaze me man!!! do you remember what the diameter of that steel chunk was? 1 Quote Link to comment
mklotz70 Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 LOL....you're easily impressed??? :) I don't remember, but it wasn't critical. It was about 3-4". I just ran down and looked in the shop and it's not there anymore. It might be in the shed, but I may have turned it into a pulley for the belt grinder. Anything that will fit inside the top hat of the rotor, but it bigger than the hub. Quote Link to comment
Eagle_Adam Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 ya.......... i am, but only cus ive spent an hour trying to figure it out as a newb before and that took you a min tops...... and maybe a little bit of it is that im too proud to ask for help till i fall flat on my face Point is, thats a slick trick and i want to have something handy for this task :D Quote Link to comment
mklotz70 Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 :) I spent my hour trying to figure it out as a newb many, many years ago!! :) I was actually looking for another vid I did with a chisel, but I found this one first. I think the other was on a truck hub/rotor. Quote Link to comment
SD_GOON Posted January 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 Ok guys the wheel stud change was a success( I'm using Dorman studs #610-403) but now I have another question. Are Drag Dr-17 wheels too much for the front stock 510 struts? They are 15x7 and I'm running spacers too but the tire rubs on the strut. Can this be fixed with an alignment or am I out of luck?

Laecaon Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 Wheel to strut clearance can only be adjusted by offset/spacers. Alignment wont do squat. Im guessing you are trying to run high offset wheels... You gotta run dish! Quote Link to comment
Ranman72 Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 bigger spacers is the only way or different offset wheels Quote Link to comment
SD_GOON Posted January 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 Ok I'll see if I can get bigger spacers. Thanks for the info Quote Link to comment
