, so I installed my wheel spacers which made my car start shaking like a sonovabehatch at 55mph again. I decided to take the front ones off but the problem with that is when I put them on I torked the shizat out of them and stripped one of the nuts that came with the spacers. I figured i would never take the spacers off again so who cares right? So now I need advice on how to get one of the spacer nuts out. These are Ichiba v2 with the built in studs, and its one of the nuts that came with them stuck on my oem stud. Help!!!!!!!!!!!!
y would u torque them like crazy?
it only needs 80lbs just like the lugnuts.
spacers dont cause the shaky, its the wheels needing hubcentric rings
u can try getting nut extractors or if all else fails, weld a nut on top of the stripped nut and twist off

this is before I put the spacer lugs on to tighten them to the hub:
So you see the nut is kind of recessed which makes it a beyatch to get any kind of leverage on it. If I could weld do you think I would be even asking such a noobish question on here dude lol?
You're going to hafta tear that whole thing down and press in a new stud into the HUB.
• remove the spacer
• remove the caliper
• remove the caliper bracket (2 X 21mm bolts IIRC)
• remove the rotor
• remove the hub
• press out the damaged stud
I would think about replacing ALL the studs with longer ones to reduce weight on that assembly ... of course you'd have to commit to using the spacers permanently.
