S13 Extended Studs and Spacers

December 10, 2009 by Greg

Tools:

Floor jack and stands
17mm socket
30mm socket
Ratchet
17mm Combo wrench
Hammer
Screw Driver
Torque wrench
Pliers

Materials:

Wheel Studs
Spacers
Grease

Procedure:

Raise the car and support it on the stands solidly. Remove the wheel to gain access to the hub.

Pull the caliper and rotor by removing the 17mm nuts holding it on.

Use a flathead screwdriver to gently pry off the cover by inserting it as shown and tapping lightly.

Remove the cotter pin by grabbing the ends and bending them with pliers, then tapping the top out.

Remove the nut and retain the washer for later. Pull off the hub.

Use the hammer to knock the old studs out of their places.

Install the new studs and tap them into place.

Using large nuts as spacers, use the lug to tighten the new stud into place.

Grease all parts required and install the hub in the reverse of the removal process. The nut should be torqued to 130-170 ft/lbs. and the cotter pin should be replaced. Re-install the rotor and caliper as well as the cover.

Slide the spacer on and re-install your wheel.

All done!
