1989 GTUs

i need to switch 2 of my rear studs (where the lug nuts screw on to) but im not sure how. do anyone know a website that can help me out. it would be better if the website had pics too, but if it dont it would be fine.
thanks

They are "press fit".
They need to be pounded from the wheel side.
They should pop out after moving about 1/2" from the hub.
Some people use a lug nut threaded onto the stud to help in this procedure.

I just hammered mine out. To install them I did like Ted said put the stud through the hole and tighten a lug nut to pull the stud through. You might have to do it a couple times.

so do i have to take the rotor and break calipers off first?

RETed

No, you don't even need to do that.
It's possible to do it without removing all that stuff, I think.
It would make it easier to remove but not necessary.

To remove:

hit on the end with a large Hammer.

to install: put new one in the hole from behind, put a stack of washers over it, and thread a nut on. it'll pull in.

My way:

1. Take off tire
2. Take off caliper (2 bolts 14 I think)
3. Take off 2 phillips bolts on rotor
4. Take off rotor
5. Hammer out studs with a ball-peen hammer
6. Grind a side of the stud to slid it on
7. Get about 5 Washers, Put the stud on and put a nut over it
8. Impact wrench Till In

And your done

P.s. I think I covered it all, not sure it was a while back when I changed mine.
