installing rear wheel studs on s14? help!

[jacobzking]

any ideas on how to press in the studs on the rear of an s14 with OUT removing the hub? the fronts are easy, plenty of room to hammer, but the back of the rear hub has no room for hammering them in. any help?

If you can find a spot to get the old studs out and new studs in all you have to do is use washers and open ended lug nut to torque the stud into place... but I think you'll probably have to remove the hubs.

Make sure you get them pressed all the way or they could crack off later.

stack of washers and a m12 1.25 regular nut or open end lug nut for the win, much more controlled seating of the stud

Also I bashed the dust shield in where the caliper would normally be, this allows you to slip the stud in right next to the 4 bolts holding the shield on. I was using 50mm Ichiba studs if it matters.
