Installing ARP wheel studs

edconline · 02-17-2014, 06:21 PM

Ok, so I am just doing this today and already running into some issues. First once I exposed the hubs and took the old studs out I could see that it looks like the teeth on the hubs stripped and I will need to replace the front hubs

As much as that sucks, the real issue right now is that I can't for the life of me remove the wheel hubs from the car! What is the trick to getting these things out of there?

Also, are there any good aftermarket wheel hubs for our car? If I have to replace them, I might as well find something better than OEM.

If I'm reading this right. Those teeth marks in the holes are from the studs when they was installed. Once you have installed the new studs. They should be tight. If you can move a stud from side to side using hand pressure. Then you have a problem.
