NOS_350x Posted April 21, 2008 Report Posted April 21, 2008 yes they are pressed in, With a vice nuts and a wrench you can put them in. its really not that hard. Quote
JET 99 Posted April 21, 2008 Report Posted April 21, 2008 but if they ripped out of your hub.... one would assume your hubs are junk.... i think if you described what happen correctly..... your hubs are junk and if they spun on the asphalt without a rim that would f.... them up too......... :shrug: Quote

01Banshee350 Posted April 28, 2008 Report Posted April 28, 2008 Thats the longest signature ive ever seen Quote
EastCoast Banshee Posted May 2, 2008 Report Posted May 2, 2008 If the hub is ok and you can tap them out your in good shape. just get 4 new studs and nuts. put the stud threw the hole on the hub put a few washers on it and then tighten the nut down and repeat that till they are all seated down good. hopefully this helps and makes a little a little sense im kinda tired.

rubberneck Posted May 2, 2008 Report Posted May 2, 2008 If you have a vice, just put a deep socket on the outboard side making sure that it is big enought to clear the stud and press them in with the vice. Quick and easy. Quote

Michael Jackson Posted May 25, 2008 Report Posted May 25, 2008 is that signature a joke to piss everyone off or are you for real with that? Quote
BaNsHeEs RuLe! Posted May 25, 2008 Report Posted May 25, 2008 is that signature a joke to piss everyone off or are you for real with that? My finger gets sore scrolling past that sig...OWWWW!! Quote
Smokin' Joe Posted May 28, 2008 Report Posted May 28, 2008 glad to hear you didn't get hurt, but yea thats a real long sig. Quote
bronco91shee Posted June 19, 2008 Report Posted June 19, 2008 from viewing your long sig, it says you have wheel spacers all around. i personally took mine off right when i got it because i heard horror stories of the studs breaking off becasue of the added stress further out then designed. i dont know if this is true, becasue i have never run them. but it is something to think about. mabye someone esle can jump in with some life experience on wheel spacers......?
