you have to press the hub off of the spindle to get the extended studs in there. Once you get the hub off, you can then remove the screws that hold the dust shield on.


You can do with the hub on, but it is not a good thing to do.

pretty much what the man said ^

you can put whack it out of the hub with a hammer and angry man power but it's not recommended unless you are **** poor since all the man force might mess up the hub, which will runs you alot more money.

for my honda you can't even do it without removing the hub

i used to work at a honda dealer. a couple techs were into this kinda ish, and i watched one of them install extended lugs by taking a mallet to the stud, turn the hub (to clear the dust shield), hit the next stud with the mallet, and so on. then used the air gun with washers to install the new studs one at a time (again as to clear the dust shield).

i was surprised how simple he made it seem.

it's simple because it was not the proper way to do it, like i said the hub will not like the beating

when is the last time you have a sideway force applied the hub?

not to mention you are hitting one at a time vs a press

i haven't ever done it, not watched any one else do it, but EVERY other account of how to do it like you mentioned involves some grinding and or cutting to the hub or the stud. Wihch IMO is a BAD BAD idea.
