Is it hard taking out the wheel studs, to change to some longer ones? Is there a write up on the web somewhere?

its easy, take the rotors out, and there is an indentation in the hub, ou rotate the studs to that indentation and then tap it with the hammer.

easy to bash out, harder to pull back through unless you have the correct tool for pulling them through, i damaged 5 news ones (i bought 25 just in case) till i found a decent technique as i didn't have a special tool just used some old wheel nuts and and an old impact socket, making both the impact socket and old nuts U/S in the process

Hey,
I recently replaced a single wheel stud on my front hub. I used a hammer to bash the old one out, and a hammer again to bash another one in. Seems to work. |

Seems to work. you can do it that way but i was always taught never to hit them in as you could bend the flat part or damage the wheel bearing -------------------- |

best technique IMO is to rotate to the indent so you can knock them out. don't use the hammer straight on the bolt as you may damage the bearing, use a piece of wood between the two to soften the force a bit. insert the new one, and use the wheel bolt to pull it through some of the way, then put the wheel on and tighten it the rest of the way,
