merckx Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 Has anyone fitted longer wheel studs, the previous owner fitted new alloys with 5mm spacers. I really should fit longer studs, the nuts are only going on about 4 full threads - about 7mm. On the front does the brake dust cover prevent them from being pushed out, I'm not sure if there is a cut out somewhere? Not sure about the rear. Has anyone fitted these, advice appreciated. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 You need to remove the front hubs and do them on the bench. Beating the studs out in situ will knacker the wheel bearings. I really think you are going about this the wrong way though, it would be far better to get some proper wheels! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just cannot really afford to get any for quite a while! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
