changing out rear wheels studs

[thumper]

i am not comfortable with bolt on wheel spacers and want to go with longer arp wheel studs instead.

the fronts look straightforward to do, but i don't know about the rears. i tried searching online but everything that comes back is for old solid axle setups.

can someone share info on what is involved? can i press them out with pulling the rear hubs?

If my experience is any guide, take the hub's off and use a shop press. I did the fronts that way and cake. Used a ball joint press on the rears and spent the next month having to check torque / re-torque about every other day. Took a while to get everything seated properly. Running the ARP 1/2" flavor...had a local machinist cut them down to the proper length. Forged lugs. Nice solution.

I installed a 15mm H&R spacer kit on the rear. I didn't cut off part of the bolt head to slide in, instead I removed the axle nut, unbolted the hub and slid them in. None of it is really hard to do if you have the right tools. Just a little time consuming.
