seems like slightly less hassle than removing the brake caliper, brake disc, splash shield and smacking the bolts out...

you did that on a EU GT with 20mm spacers?
Yes

20mm spacers arrived today :)

ill be listing the 15mm spacers for sale if anyone is interested.

Did you just use a standard 14mm drill bit to create the space?

EDIT: on hindsight - i think i'll just bust out the grinder and nip 3-4mm off dez bolts

ah no sorry, i meant i'll put them up for sale!

i don't have any pics of them fitted because i never fit them - i got the 20mm instead and will trim the studs

the 15's are a pain in the ass to put on / take off - but you are welcome to them :)

Cos they require you to change out the studs for longer ones. On the plus side only one set of studs to worry about...

Yeh this

Wheel off
Caliper off
Splash shield off
Bang studs out, then reverse

Alternative is the 20's but trying not to chop a finger off with the angle grinder.
I'll let you know if I chose the right option .

Although if you don't hear an update you can assume I did not

Once you have the hubs off do the studs come out fairly easily? I can find an old nut that fits and I have a copper mallet, but I don't have access to a bench press.
