2 lug nuts and spin them out yourself. Your wheel bearings wont see any stress. Put a jack stand under the hub so you dont wrench on the control arms. You’ll do it much more carefully than any shop would anyway. Edit: Doh, you prob dont have thread in studs, eh? I’m with ya now. Carry on everyone. ---

Jclark, i have pressed in studs and to my knowledge they have to be pounded out like seans sisters rear-end. :eek i have never done this and i can see myself getting very mad pounding the shit out of it and breaking something. then i would hate myself and put my fist through something, like seans mom. :eek so if anyone knows someone who can do this for me, im almost 100% sure i found studs, and im not talking about what seans mom calls me in bed. :eek ---

ok just talked to pfadt and they have everything i need but…they told me they hubs have to come off the car. he also said it takes 400+ ft/lbs of tq to get it off and special tools are needed. so my next question is, anyone know any corvette specific guys that will do this that i can trust. synapse do not know much about vettes, and redline im weary of since day one. **_HALP!_** ---
