Default Question about arp wheel studs

I got a 93 civic hatch and I'm have to put the arp wheel studs because of the rims and slicks I have.I was wondering if its possible to put then in without separating the wheel bearing?

Default Re: Question about arp wheel studs (killer1320)

It is possible in the rear end if the studs are the sock length. If they are extended studs I doubt they will fit.

It is not possible in the front end unless you cut a hole in the dust sheild and grind half the head off the stud. I would NOT suggest any of that if your trying to "strenghten" your hubs. And even that technique would only apply to a stock length stud...

Just rent the hub pulling tool at Autozone (or wherever). It will give you a chance to change your front wheel bearings too.

Be aware that sometimes the bearings come apart when pulling the hubs. This is a bad situation because the rear will leave the inner race stuck to the spindle. That will probably require some carful cutting, or some professional attention...
