fitted up the cossie hubs etc to the 3dr yesterday, and then smashed out the wheel studs to put the longer ones in...
i thought i could just wind a wheel nut on against the hub and it would pull it in...
well, not quite
they go so far in... then wont go in any further lol
so how you get em in?
is a hub off job and a press?

ive used the washers to spread the load, and pull it through nicely.

note : im not talking about using washers behind the hub, just to spread the load , they are removed once the studs 100% home.

are you doing it the way in the diagram shows?
if so, you just use the disc instead of the washers

Some studs have a very slight angle to the splines so make sure they are lined up ie spline in between spline etc, had this recently on a honda(yank), though he was quoted two hours labour to remove hub etc, did it in 5 minutes no hub off!!

they need to go in tight as fuck as they stop the wheel nuts from spinning when you try to undo them
if they are the wrong ones you are fucked come this time if this happens
did you get them from speedshack? he sells them for the sierra and they slot right into place
