Stud replacing

Post by Coolair »

Just put on my new style 5 bmw rims and my rear studs are too short. Can I just bang out the old studs with a big hammer do have to take the hub off was also thinking of picking up some one inch adapters. Would the adapters solve my problems? Any help would be great.

I had the same issue when I out Iroc rims on my '66. Rear studs would only engage 3-4 threads on the lug nut which wasn't enough to make me feel safe. You can drive out the old ones pretty easily with a big hammer, I threaded a lug nut on to keep the threads from getting mashed up, 2-3 whacks will pop them out. I used a Dorman replacement stud and slid em in, about an hour to do both sides and have the wheels back on.
