dude Posted February 13, 2011 Author Share Posted February 13, 2011 Did you have to remove the hub to fit them long studs? No dude just drill a hole in the back plate behind the front handbrake shoe, take the shoe out and hey presto studs fly in !!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
