long studs for race applications
Ok, so I have a problem...I want long studs for my hubs, but
1. I haven't the slightest clue where to buy them, and
2. I haven't the slightest clue how to install them
Ok, buying isn't such a big deal...I go to summit racing and ask for some (I'm guessing the size here) M12x75x1.25 studs
But for the install...am I correct to assume that the studs are just pressed in and will come out of the hub with enough force placed on it pushing out, and then just press new ones in? Is the force of the wheel dynamics enough to seat the new stud when torqued to 90 lb-ft?
KS-R I think I saw long studs on your dragger, any tips?

i know the ones i use to have on my truck i could just press in and suck-up with the wheel nuts..
but if yer at all worried about it give 'er a couple of zaps with an arc welder..
try and keep the heat down tho, don't wanna go warping the discs/drums..

The studs aren't too expensive... I can't remember.. like $50 for the package of two.. Don't remember the part number or the specs... but they were something like 12mm x 2.5 or so. Each package comes with 5 bolts...
You'll need to get a hub puller (which is a slide hammer with an adaptor) and remove the hub from the spindle.. Then you'll need a press to press out the old studs from the hub... With the old ones out.. you're ready to press in the new ones... The new ones are slightly larger, but by just a bit...
Again, you'll have to use the press to install the new studs.. Don't try hammering.. cause it won't work.
Takes about half an hour for both hubs, but it's a bit of work.
Good Luck.

getting the studs in and out is quite easy, my cv boot, tore open and i had i was hammering and i missed the cv shaft and hit a stud, it came right out, then getting it in i used a pair of vice grips on the stud and used the nut and an impact gun to pull itself back in

That's probably because the studs were old where the splines have already been compressed... I don't think that'll work with new studs. Not to mention the unnecessary stressing of the studs when you're pulling them into the hub with the impact gun.
