[b]Well after a mix up w/ ichiba sending me the wrong size studs i finally got around to getting em in

First off, you need:

19mm socket
Ratchet
19mm Combo wrench
Hammer
Screw Driver
Grease
30mm socket
torque wrench
Pliers

1.) Take off wheel to reveal hub



2.) You will have to take off the rotor and caliper. Do do so take ur 17mm socket and take off the 2 bolts that hold it to the hub.



3.) Get ur flat head screw driver and put it as pictured. Slightly tap it w/ hammer to get it to open up a little bit. Work your way around the cover and it'll pop off.




4.) Take the pliers and grab onto the cotter pin that is infront of the nut. Hit the pliers w/ the hammer to get it out.



5.) Once it's out get your 30mm socket and take off the hub nut.




6.) As you can see here there is a washer that holds it in place. Make sure that is back in when u re-install. Take off hub.


7.) Take ur hub, and knock out the studs w/ a hammer. It'll take a few whacks but they'll come out.



8.) Put in the new studs and slightly tap them to stay in place

9.) Put a spacer or nuts like i used to tighten the studs into place. The nuts i used worked because the lug nut fit perfectly into the rim of the nut to hold it straight. Tighten each one till it's either all the way in or almost all the way in.



10.) Take your hub w/ the new studs and put grease on anything thats a bearing, seal, or hits on the spindle itself. Just to make for a smoother. less noisey spin. Sometimes they like to make noises from dirt or shit. BE SURE TO INSTALL WASHER


11.) Re-install the same way you installed.
a. Hub
b. nut 130-170 ft. lbs
c. cotter pin








d. rotor
e. caliper
f. cover for hub nut



12.) Slide on the spacer and put wheel in place.





Tighten each lug nut to 70+ ft lbs. and make sure none of the studs spin.

End result...

i need to edit this. The studs that hold on the caliper bracket are 19's not 17's

2 years later u edit it.
not bad.

haha i had my g/f changing out my hubs and i gave her a 17 cause i told her to read this thread and change em and it didn't fit.

Nice write up! You must have a strong pimp hand to get your girlfriend to work on your car.
