Finally....I got got my wheel studs and new lugs nuts in the mail, all 20 of them. Ordered from Jerry Rome Nissan (Great service...HIGHLY recommend). I'm gunna start doing them on Friday and go one wheel a day starting from the rear. My question to you guys is, how long would it take to complete all 5 studs on one wheel from start to finish. I plan on starting at around 10-ish and hope to finish by 3...do you think it would work out?

Oh, and while I have the brakes off, I plan on regreasing the caliper sliding pins and maybe lubing up the parking brake lever(s)....and maybe sand my rotor a little bit and the usual cleaning ....Like I said, one wheel per day

 

man just do them all at the sametime, or do the two fronts and two rears together...its not tough at all!!...in fact you can do them all in one day if you've got about 3-4hrs....so why not wait till saturday?

 

how much were the studs??? i just need 1 actually but i dont know if id be able to get only 1

 

Yea you can get only one, the rear studs were 1.78 (part # 43222-41B00) and the front studs were 1.14 (part # 43222-70T00). This was with the 25% maxima discount from Jerry Rome Nissan

 

Would I still have enough room to get the studs out if they are real long? If not, do you think it'd be hard to cut them with a hack saw?

 

There is a cut-out on the brake shield to remove or install studs.

 

I'm not worried about the cutout, im worried about where the torque member bolts onto. My studs are outrageously long, so im wondering if they would fit

 

PHEW....let me say wow, I just did the rear studs and they are a PITA! I suggest that you bring this to your mechanic if you were to do yours. Its really hard if you dont have an impact gun, which I thank god I had. Monday I will be doing the fronts...

 

w00t w00t......

i need to do mine at some point.....

just for the sake for slowing restoring/modding/improving my car.....

want to add new rotors, calipers, and lugs/bolts at same time....

best of luck. and lots of liquid wrench

 

Liquid wrench....pffff, get some real penetrant, PB BLASTER! But you wont need it if you have an impact gun like i said!
