Rear wheel studs

[blueboy]

I need to remove the spacers that I have fitted to so that I can fit the new wider wheels, but the studs on the rear need to be replaced. Is it something a local garage would be willing to undertake ? Or is it better to change the complete hub ?
Where is the best place to buy new studs or hubs ?

Decent garage should be able to replace the studs

Best place to buy new studs is a Ford dealer, would imagine they can fit them too!

It's in at Ford having the a/c looked at again for the fifth time, so I will ask them about it.

We found that it was cheaper to buy a whole hub assembly from the US than buy individual studs from Ford UK.

This - I don't know what the availability in UK is, but had to replace stud in the front since the thread got messed up - complete hub with studs and bearing was $52 here from on like part dealers, studs were $12 each if I remember correctly and require work to replace - needed to be pressed out and in. However if OP intends to replace studs with the longer ones, than the work will needed to be done anyway.

Where would be the best place to buy thub assembly, as Ford want £29.00 per wheel stud.

Buy a new hub from the US, will be less than $100, versus ford who want £450+ for a hub assembly. Installing studs is a royal pain.

You can get them from rock auto, I got two front hubs for £90 delivered.

Thanks, would anybody know the part number or description of what I would need to look for ?

Tasca, Autonation or Ford Levittown - go to their website and you can find P/N for yourself for your specific VIN number - you can buy from them, not sure how much shipping to UK would be.
