A few questions

First let me say hi all
A couple of weeks ago I bought my first rx-7 and so far she is running great. I just have a few questions about the things I have noticed now that I have the car inspected and legal to drive on the streets.
#1 after driving the car and coming to a stop the oil pressure gauge tends to be bouncy the car idels fine no hesitations or anything just the oil pressure is bouncing up and down for a few seconds then it will stop then it will start again. While I am driving it is steady.... Is this normal?
#2 Not sure how or why but one of the ends of a wheel stud on the back wheel was a big rust ball. So thinking it would just be a quick half an hour job I cut it in half and popped it out but then I can't get the new one in with out taking off the wheel hub assembly. Is this right or am I just missing something right in front of my face? Wouldn't be the first time!
Anyway long story short had evo 8 then had 3rd child then tradded evo 8 for a mini van then great deal on rx-7 drops in my lap. With that sad I am glad to see a established and seemingly mature place to troll at work and home!!! Thanks for the help in advance ya'll.

I have a hunch the oil pressure sender has gone bad. Very common problem, easy to replace sender.

Dunno but do a search for info on rear hubs by user DamonB. I recall he got to know the rear hub assembly a little better than anyone would want to.
