Default rear stud replacement?

installing the ichiba v1 spacers tomorrow.. since there was no DIY, i was hoping someone here would be able to walk me through what i'd need and the procedure to replace my existing studs with the extended ones. i was reading up and it seems i have to remove the entire brake apart? i tried using the 2IS rear brake diy to get an idea of what i'd have to do but it further confuses me.. if someone could help me out i'd greatly appreciate it

Perhaps some expert can chime in.... don't take my word.

If you are going to replace the studs, I think you need to remove the rotor and knock out the studs.

Just a suggestion. Return the V1 and get the V2!

You will have to remove the rotor to knock out the lug studs, so you will be removing the caliper bracket assembly and the rotor...from there you simply knock out the lug studs out of the axle hub, and install the longer studs (you can tighten them using a lug nut if you have air tools)...then put it all back together...

It sounds like a lot, but it is really easy, just take your time and you will be fine.

As above, strip brake components and knock out studs
