first is remove everything to put it in brake rotors, pads, caliper and bracket and press out the hub

second way is dremel some of the "hub cover" (dunno the exact name) to fit them in cuz this is the part that gets in the way

- Sat Nov 07, 2009 11:21 pm #155349 was gonna do mine today but we ran out of time (ARP extended studs). you can possibly get away with replacing the fronts with stock studs but definitely not extendeds without popping the wheel bearing.. rear drums, they should go right in. rear disc, new hub bearings. so look at spending at least about $100 for the front bearings. and another $200 for rear hubs (rear disc only)


edit: found out i dont have to get new hub bearings to do the studs on the rear discs.
