Sorta makes me a little nervous, seeing how easily those lugs broke in half. My sister coulda broke them....and I don't even have a sister.

 

If you need help, give me a call..... But, I got to meet Richard tonight.

 

hey.....exact same thing that happened to my friend at the signal auto event.....2 out of the 4 studs broke off his blue 240.....he couldn't finish the event.....that sucks.....but he was doing really good that night.....he was on his game until that happened.....

 

I broke one and stripped another on the same hub. Really soft and gooey those studs. They aren't very easy to find either. I think I should order some just in case. That way, one will break by the time they show up.

 

Sorry Pat.

 

I think they're the same as Nissan studs

 

I'm calling Schuman, but if they don't have any, I'll call you Mike. Thanks.

 

Do you guys need to use a torch? Can it be done on the car without a press? Sweet!

Changing wheel studs on my Mustang was a *****. You had to remove the axles from the rear end, use a press (luckily I have a 10-tonner that I have direct access to) - press of the ABS reluctor wheels and go to town on each of the 5 lugs. What a bother.

Glad to hear it's easier on the Suby.

It's actually really easy. If you have a BFH and air tools and more studs.


And you can use Nissan studs, they are 12x1.25 same as the subaru ones.

 

if you guys don't mind can you post some pics and some words of wisdow on how you did them. it doesn't have to be step by step just the quick down and dirty of how you did it if you don't mind. thanks guys

 

Did you break some too?

Damn! I'll be more careful next time I rotate my tires!

nononono!!! thank god no, just in case, it be niceto have the info i keep alot of installation instuction on my puter

 

Pat, You need to call me before you do this.

 

Ok. Right now, I've got all of the front lugnuts off of it, except for one on the driver's side. I was going to take my Explorer down to Beretania to p/u some more because I've got a part for the tranny waiting for me down there.

If you've got some on hand, I might give you a tele ring a ring, because I don't know how late I'll get off of work, and I know that the parts department closes pretty early.

 

He just doesn't want you to f^ck anything up.
You don't need to 'torch' Anything!!
