Default Open ended/extended lugs and wheel studs

Hey guys,

So my studs rusted a bit due to the open ended extended lugs I had on there, and I guess I overtorqued the lugs which resulted in the threading crapping out on me. Just went and bought a set of Muteki lugs, and a buttload of studs.

The fronts were easy to replace, but it started sprinkling a bit, so I didn't have time to do the rears. Anyone know how hard it is to replace the studs in the rear, or is it the same concept as the front? I've heard that the rears were a bit more difficult, but idk what it entails.

Any help is appreciated!

Thanks. :]

I dont know since ive never done this but I want to install extended studs in the rear, if someone would chime in here that would help.

also, anyone know where I can order extended studs alone?

I was told you can remove the rear studs just like the fronts. Recommended method being a C-clamp and not pounded on it...due to the wheel bearing.

ARP IS300 extended wheel studs work in our hubs.

GL!
