DIY: ** Rear 20mm stud replacement spacers

ChrisSlicks

Impact wrench isn't necessary on either end but it does make it a lot quicker. I replaced a set of front studs in the middle of an air field with just hand tools after I had one fail, and it was raining and only 50 degrees Definitely prefer a warm garage though.

Yea, I just learned about that yesterday. My impact wrench was not up to the job so I had to get creative without damaging the studs.

I used lug nuts and a breakbar to hold the hub steady so I could tighten down the new stud. All in all, pretty easy without an impact wrench as long as I sprayed some lubricant on the base of the new stud. I think I did the fronts without impact wrench in about 1 hour and a half or less.

Thanks for posting this pic!
I was trying to explain how to do this without an impact wrench, but your picture is much more effective than my written explanation

+1 on NOT lubing the studs.

Repped.
