Stud replacement......quick help
Hey guys.....I posted this in my other thread in the GS section but I need some immediate assistance. The shop that my car is at is trying to replace my studs with the ones that came with the new H&R spacers I got.....below is the email he sent....please help me so I can pass it along to them.
"Also, talked to the tech this morning about wheel studs. I guess he says they are pressed into the hub, not the rotor. This makes me a little nervous about damaging the hub. The hub is pressed into the knuckle and is not removeable like a rotor. I will still give it a try but if it looks like its going sideways I'm going to have him stop. You will have to take to the wheel shop if this is the case. "
