i know a press is ideal when installing arp extended studs but is there another way to do it?

i can remove the stock studs using a mini sledge hammer but when installing the extend studs can't you just do this:
-put the stud through the back of the hub
-put a spacer on the front side (i.e. a larger diameter lugnut)
-thread in a lugnut on the front side
-tighten down with an impact wrench until stud is seated properly

order: stud, hub, spacer, lugnut, impact wrench

i know you risk stripping the knurls off the stud but wouldn't that work?!

 

Im almost positive that there is a write up on this and all they used a BFH and also tightened the lug nuts until it seated the studs

 

hmm i searched and didn't find anything. i'll keep looking thanks! anyone else?

Thats how we do it, never had a problem.

 

Yes that would work if you don't have a press, actually we've never used a press to install studs we always just pull them threw. An old socket with a washer works well as a spacer btw.

 

On the how to, it says that you might damage your wheel bearing with that method. How likely is that? I need to replace a broken wheel stud.

 

thanks for the replies guys! this will work.

Only way i could see possibly damaging the bearing is if you put the hub on the bearings in a way to damage it. If you have your axle in then you wont damage it, just make sure to grease it up really good before you put the hub on.

Thanks for the reply! Its probably a dumb question, but is there any way the axle would come out? Any specific grease that I should use?
