I used a ball joint press to press each stud out. Less impact on the wheel bearing. For us salt belt folks I'd suggest buying a separate bolt to remove the rotors. You'll also probably not be able to get the rear hub off. I cut the nipple off the 2.5" studs and they will squeeze in without taking the hub off.
Just snapped my wheel stud and look who has a video on replacing them thanks brother I learnt a lot from you and I hope to keep learning from you down the road keep posting videos
@@schlimegod2175 back out the 4 bolts, but don't remove them, leave enough good thread inside. Hit the bolts from their heads (punching the hub out). You may mess the bolts though. It also helps the interface soaked with pb blaster overnight. A smal pry bar also helps. There a few places around you can get them in. Last idea, a thick chisel, but be careful with damaging the knuckle.
Might just do this when I gotta change break pads. Might as well since it'll all be coming off at that time anyway. Wish they had some black ones though.
Found out that on a 2022 BRZ, you will need to remove the front hubs to slide extended wheel studs in. It isn’t hard, but clearance to remove the front hubs is tight.
Finally attempted this today for the rears because my fronts have extended studs! I failed. I only got to one wheel in the rear. I could not get the hub to come out a bit like in this video. It was stuck, really stuck. I ended up putting regular studs back in. I basically wasted 5 studs and lost a few hours of my day 😵💫 From Guam, USA 🇬🇺
@@KevinVo yes, but it was difficult to get a good swing. I’ll try again in a few weeks, maybe get some kind of tool that’ll allow me to remove the hub more easily. Nonetheless, your guide is really helpful, thanks for it
It'll depend on what exactly you're doing to the hub assembly. If you're doing what I did in the video, you won't need an alignment as I didn't actually mess with any of the mounting locations that would affect the alignment.
@@KevinVo 💯 greatly appreciate it. I’m an FTSpeed repeat customer from a little U.S. Territory named Guam in the Pacific. Many of us order from here, keep up the great content and products.
@@KevinVo follow up question, I'm about to do this with my 22 brz, they have the same procedure right? No difference especially for the rear the hub can be unbolted and wiggle some room?
