Longer studs on ST205 - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #48831 8 posts Started by TomPoz
After going through hell with trying to get installed my spacers with longer studs - I gave up.

For your information - to change studs in ST205 one has to disassemble hubs which is likely to result with damaged bearings.

This would add ~500$ to the expenses related with installing Volks (42 offset) on my GT4. Therefore, I am selling my Volks - tomorrow morning OZ Racing Ultraleggeras in graphite will be installed. biggrin.gif

WOW $500 for bearings?
I get them for $20 or so here laugh.gif
I thought you could hammer out the studs?
Are studs the threaded things that you screw the lugnuts to, right? tongue.gif If so, one of my front right ones is stripped, and another one broke. How can I fix that?

Remove wheel/caliper/rotor

Then use a hammer to punch the studs out. Get new studs from your dealer. Use a reversed socket (20mm or so) and a breaker bar to 'pull' the stud into the hub. Use a bit of WD-40 or Silicon spray on the teethed edge of the stud to make to pull easier.

Use the breaker bar so you can apply force without moving the entire hub.

Just like in the next picture.
