Hey guys yesterday decided to try a different set of wheels on the evo. I started to undo the nuts to get the wheel off when i noticed that it was alot more difficult to get them off.

I took just the one nut off and noticed that the tread in the nut and on the rear hub have been screwed with a little. Looks like someone tried to put nuts that dont belong to the car on it at one stage in its life.

Luckily it looks like they relised after just the one wheel so its only the rear left that has the problem.

Its a pain in the ass taking wheel on and off the way it is so i just wanted to see what my options where. Is the best bed to just buy a replacement hub assembly??

THanks guys..

Ross

i used ot have an evo, by the sounds of it best bet to replace the assembly.

May be costly cause wont be easy to find so might have to buy it new imported.

but u wont have the same ssue again provided the right nuts are used.

No definitely no need for that. You are able to replace the individual wheel studs, just go to a suspension place and they can do it for you.

      Or, the height of the release bearing is not correct for your combo. Start with the bleeding and checking the slave moves throughout its range when you press the pedal (2 person required), but it is possible for the height to be internally wrong too (box back off to measure.

      Yes, there's quite a few things that can go wrong during a clutch install. Very unlikely. I have a similar clutch. They (ACS) make good gear. No, it is not normal. It is possible that you just need to bleed the clutch slave. But the new clutch will also have a more aggressive actuation force/pressure, and so your old slave cylinder might be a bit leaky or otherwise compromised, and not up to the extra force required. Or the master cylinder, same.

      Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in?
