can anyone tell me how to get the hub out of the spindle assembly so I can install my new ARP extended wheel studs?

car is a 2000 Civic EX coupe also is it the same process to do the rear hubs too

spindles are already out of car

 

You need to take them to a shop, you have to press them off and back on. most of the time you end up having to replace the wheel bearings.

 

that blows but its worth it for arp studs especially when i have a new set of buddy club lug nuts to go with it

 

I would be very carefull with buddy club lug nuts, heard a few people say they come loose on them while driving."HARD" driving

 

Do you have rear drums?

 

yea unfortunately, disc brake conversion is next years project

i'm hopin the lug nuts will stay tight, i always hand tighten them since you never know when you will have a flat tire. anyhow the only hard driving i ever really do is at the track or when i do a 1st or 2nd gear pull

 

I see, i wouldnt install the rear extended studs till you get rear disc, the only safe way is to put a tac weld on each stud from the rear after you install them.

 

which buddy club lugs you talking about? i have the P1 magnesium/aluminum alloy ones

 

Here is the FAQ...with bad pics:

No i wouldn't install the studs on rear drums if your upgrading to rear disc, you will have to buy new rears then

 

Sometimes you might have to get new bearings, sometimes not. usually the shop will warn you before they press your stock studs out and press in the ARP's.

I just took my whole spindle to the shop and they were able to press the studs out n in without having to disassemble the hub from the rest of the spindle, so that was nice.

 

well i got the fronts done without any trouble, took them to work today and used our 25 ton press and pushed them right out without hurting the bearing...it was actually a good idea taking them out because the bearings were pretty dry so they got a good grease job while i had the hub out

now i just have to do the rears
