the rear studs holes in my fc are all shallow, and autozone studs were too soft to cut into the hole, so i bought some arp studs. problem is, the way the hub is designed (where you have to slip the studs in at an angle) prevents me from putting in the studs witout removing hub from the spindle. any ideas or suggestions on how to get these on would be appreciated.

 

We had to take out the whole hub to install my ARP extended stud in the rear, I dont think theres a way outta it, other then takin out the hub.

 

did you just press it out with a big socket?

 

since we were at a autoshop, we had the bearing pressed out wit a press. good luck!

 

Just remember that you will need 2 new rear wheel bearings, as they split when being pressed out. There is no other way to put in new wheel studs, trust me I have tried every other way. Looking at putting a notch into the wheel flange next time they are apart.
