last night I attempted to change out my wheel studs for longer ones. The fronts were quite easy as the hub has one spot with a notch in behind it, it was just a matter of filing down the splines a bit in order to get them seated.....the back however was a nightmare.
After stripping two puller bolts and cracking the hub part of the disc (right beside the threaded hole) I had to disassemble the handbrake assembly through the tiny access hole before I could get it off. Then of course there is only enough clearance behind the studs to punch them out and put same length ones back in....not 15mm longer. After a while of cursing I finally figured out I would have to cut about 2 threads off each stud and round the edge just a bit. Then wedge it between the hub and the hole and twist the wheel with a big prybar, then tap the stud sideways with a hammer and it would finally pop in. I had tho chase the threads on the first couple but after that I got the hang of it. Then reassembly of the handbrake mechanism is a whole 'nother job in itself (it felt very simple after what I just went through) I haven't even taken the wheel off the other side yet....I guess I will have to face it this morning -------------------- ST205 Crew represent
