Hey guy I bought some APR extended studs for my car and took off all the parts already and wanted to have a shop change them I was wondering If I have to replace the bearings when I change the studs or if I can use the ones I have they are still in good shape. also is there a way to change the front and rear studs without pressing out the hubs otherwise I'm going to have a shop do it.

I will appreciate any help you can give me

 

Haven't done a honda, but on my pos dsm, just removed the rotor and dust sheild and beat the crap out of the old ones.

 

The problem is the new ones are longer and I don't think they will go in with pressing out the hub

 

if the wheel bearing are still good, then yes your can reuse them.

but it gets destroyed upon pressing it out doesn't it?

 

not if you know what your doing. when you press out the hub outer part of the bearing stays on the hub. not just knock out the old studs and replace. then line up the hub to the part of the bearing still in the kunckle and press in.

i did it on my gsr on both sides after i already replaced the bearings. i know i had a brain fat. but idealy you want to do the wheel studs with the bearing. 2 birds with one stone.

go find willards bearing replacement post.

I kind of wonder about the integrity of it after reassembling the bearing like that.

its fine we do it all the time to repace cross or broken studs.

 

Should any local autoshop be able to change the studs?

 

you'll save a lot if you take off the kunckle and take to a machine shop yourself.
