Wheel Studs

[NoFX_Hardcore]

Hey,

Got everything off to change the wheel studs but the wheel studs are too long to get behind to pull through so... How do I get them on now? We tried to undo the big nut on the centre to try and take off the thing the studs go into but even a rattle gun couldn't get it off. Is that the only way to get it off to get the studs in or? What's the best way to go about it?

Thanks in advance,

Chris.

spray plenty of wd40 or similar, and either try the gun again, or get a big breaker bar/pipe, make sure its the right size socket, should do the trick.

Do you which way the huge lock nut I'm talking about turns????

Because its on the wheels and it turns, I've heard some often thread one way and come off the opposite way or something???

no thats the drive shaft, it doesn't have to come out.

have a look at the stud mounting plate, as you rotate it you will find a larger gap behind where you can pull the stud out.
