i need to remove the hub to replace a damaged stud

chees mid life crisis

it's ok fig it out

How did you do it? Please tell me. Bob jane stripped my rear one, and i cant take it back, coz i dont hav receit.

ok you dont have to take the hub off thats that makes it a lot easier

1 take wheel off

2 remove rear caliper just undo the 2 17 mm bolts and pull to one side

3 in the disc there are 2 holes with a thread in them about 10 mm i think find 2 bolts and screw in to the holes a little bit each side this will pull the disc of the hub . make sure handbrake is off

4 tap the damaged stud out with a hammer the stud will land amongst the handbrake assembly u might need a magnetic screwdriver to help dig it out

5 push new stud into the hole as far as you can . find a nut thats bigger than the thread and put over stud then put on wheel nut and tighten till the stud is in all the way remove wheelnut and nut

6 put disc back on then caliper and the wheel job done took me about 1/2 hr once i fig out how to do it stud cost about 5 bucks

hopes this helps

Good procedure man, I was trying to take the whole hub off, but this way is probably a lot quiker and easier. I had to replace 3 studs in the same hub because of dodgy tyre factories, and it took me about 45mins all up for removal of tyre, to calipers to disc, to studs and all back on again.

Trust me this way works good thanks man

:D

    • To be fair passengers who aren't silly and have been in proper fast cars have often been pretty impressed once you hit 4th gear   
    • I suppose that's true. Barring almost any situation, I'll never sell so what the market does is kind of irrelevant to me. It's possible I'd make most of my money back. That spreadsheet I mentioned? Maybe I could make back more than what the car's total costs thus far are, but the parts and all that is possibly a different story... Thanks for reading. It was certainly a good moment and just makes the ties to the car that much stronger. It's exciting that the option will be there to bring it over, however I have some plans with a shop that may end up keeping the car there longer, not sure. Coupled with the fact I want to move there and haven't solidified any path yet. So in a way, it feels like I'm in a limbo state that is uncertain; time will tell.
    • No worries, everything worked out in the end. I just wanted to make the point that it doesn't matter where it comes from (I.E Australia), it can be broken or improperly built. I would still purchase from these companies in the future. B2R - Not certain how that finished, this was on a car I wired a few things and street tuned. I know the owner ended up shipping the motor back to Australia for investigation. Hopefully some of it is covered under warranty.  Turbosmart - I always pressure test everything that goes on my car. It's a habit from my career in oil and gas. I run two 40mm's and both had major leaks from the actuator to exhaust portion through the shaft. I returned both, they shipped me back two and one was leaking and the other had a 38mm top (40mm gate with 38mm actuator cap, no idea how that happens). Eventually after a lot of back and forth I found myself with two non-leaking gates. I believe this happens a lot more then people would like to believe but you would never know if you don't pressure test them prior to installation. Crank Motorsport - Issued a full refund and let me keep the seat rails. I turned them into scrap metal for other projects. GKTech - Shipped me out a replacement and asked that I modify it as per my idea and that they would do the same for a future revision. ATP - Can just needed a large shim to bolt up properly.  Haltech - They started an actual proper Beta channel for firmware's a few months back and stopped using the general public for testing. I'm now much happier.  Speedtek - f**k Speedtek. I would love to watch them burn.     
    • I've got a Turbosmart wastegate, ATP catch can, many GK Tech parts and Haltech everything. Everything's been perfect, sorry to hear your experience wasn't the same
