How do you take out the old wheel studs and how do you put in new ones? And where can you buy longer than stock studs? Will my lug nuts still work with them, or would it be different threading? ---

[PDM-Racing.com](http://PDM-Racing.com). Just pound them out with a hammer, put the new ones in and stack some washers on them and impact them into place. ---

I would recommend tacing them in place with a welder after the new ones are installed… you may need open ended lugs. ---

i got mine from superior nissan and they work awesome. . .i’ve got some pics somewhere. . .yeah i just hammered them out and got a nut as a spacer and then another to suck it in with the impact. They sent me 2 different sizes tho. . .same length but different thickness. I only had time to do 1 set on the left front wheel. Wondering if the front and rear are different thicknesses? ---

Yup, hammer them out after taking off the caliper and rotor. Then you have to impact the new ones on. If you get the right studs you will not need to tack them on. They are pinched on between your hug and the nut you put on. ---

What can you do to install them if you don’t have an impact gun, could i just ratchet them on? ---

> [@drader](#): > > What can you do to install them if you don’t have an impact gun, could i just ratchet them on? Yup, Just make sure you sink them all the way. look behind and make sure the stud is in all of the way. ---
