well i bought the ARP 100-7708 model studs...and im going to take a stab at this, is that you need to disassemble the wheel hub, they are too long to get them in, the angle is too far off...anyone have any tricks or the right method to getting them on... i can take pix if needed...

ERic.

The easiest way would be to take off the hub and get them pressed in with a hydraulic press. It's fairly easy to remove the hub...remove caliper, take off brake rotor, dust shield, cotter pin, then spindle nut. At this point it would be best to check your bearing. Then press the old studs out. I used three deep sockets under the hub to press the new extended wheels studs in. Installation is reverse of removal. You have to remember to regrease your bearings when putting them back on.

You could take a sledge hammer to it, but there's always the chance that you could miss and smash up the hub or anythin else. Plus if you hit the studs at an angle you might bend them, then you might not be able to get them out and you would be up the creek w/o a paddle. It would just make more work for you. Besides using a hydraulic press is safer, easier, and much quicker.
