IWSTI currently does not work at the moment...

 

Should be a writeup on ScoobyMods too

 

#1 was it wheel works because they did the same **** to me? ****ing retards. They wont fix that **** either, **** suckers.

#2 super easy to fix the front, back not so much.

Take tire off.

Unbolt brake caliper, do not disconnect brake line. I used a short bungie cord to hold it out of the way.

take 2 m6x1.25 bolts if i remember correctly and thread them into the 2 holes in yoru rotor a little bit at a time. Eventually it will come off, pretty easily i should say.

Thump out old stud, put in new stud. Reverse of disassembly to put back on except torquing the tires on will tighten the rotor back up. kragen on stony point doesnt have it in stock, but the autozone next door usually always has it in stock. They threw in the nut too.

 

Uh...no

To install a stud you must press it in. Never torque it in with a bolt, as this streches the stud out and will cause it to break/fail much much faster.

 

yea pretty this. The spline shoulders are designed to be pressed in then will expand once its meshed in. If you pull on the threads it may stretch it passed its point of retained tightness.

I change my wheel studs frequently due to running a low offset and track abuse.

I will only recommend OEM from Subaru because Dorman, ARP, Morosso may be model specific, they are of general build. I'd like to stick to parts like this that are intended for Subaru only.


I keep this bag with me at all times


Part # is 28055AA003

 

^^ Nice, thanks for the info.

 

*Update*

Went to the shop today and showed them my busted lug nut and they offered to replace the stud for free, no questions asked.

Thank you to those who gave me advice on this matter.

 

As it should be. Good news.


I hate the use of air tools putting lugs back on. It's lazy. Just spin that sucker on and use a torque wrench.

 

Glad to hear they owned up to it. OneManArmy I don't know why people feel the need to use air tools on lug nuts. I start them by hand than use a speed wrench than a torque wrench. Most of the time it is only slightly slower than air tools.

 

because racecar

 

 

I might request they use a normal lug wrench and not be lazy. I just spent a week sanding, priming and painting my wheels and I would be really sad if they got chipped.

 

Is there a way, or special tool, to press the stud in while the knuckle is still on the car?

 

Went to the shop today and they replaced the stud without chipping the paint on my wheel so I am very pleased. I requested that they not use air tools.
