as above really,

just purchased some second hand fiesta zetec hubs, they arrived promptly but one is missing a stud. Are these easy refit? Im a bit miffed really as they are advertised as being in good order but they both need a proper blasting, they did state that the pic (of a nice clean hub) was for illustration purposes only but I at least expected them to have all the studds in.

Any advice would be great

Many thanks

edit, as it may they may be splined

As above BUT you may always need longer studs anyway dependant of wheels

Raj_FRST

i think I will need longer studs for the 16" wheel as i will be using spacers to widen the track and to clear the coilovers.

Is it easy to remove the rest of the studs?

How do I install new ones and when do I get them from?

cheers for your help chaps

Burtons sell them

Literally hammer and they bang out.

Fitting new ones you need a small socket to slip over the stud and then with a nut wind the stud in through the hole. ( socket so nut doesnt bottom out)

cheers luke, i will look on burtons now and bang the old ones out, will have to give you a call when I get the new ones though im struggling to get my head around how to put the new ones in

Raj_FRST

ahh i think i under stand, so use a socket to act as a sort od spacer so when you tighten the nut it pulls the stud into position??? then take the nut off and remove the socket etc??

Raj_FRST

which ones would be best?

You can use washers instead of a socket to pull the stud into the hub

Raj_FRST

thank for that, I have a few large shim work which will do the trick, just not to sure now which studs to buy, burtons do 2 types
