Default Changing studs.

I have a set BK 121 wheels on my MY00. Fitted last year 2nd hand. Silly allen key nuts are cracked after trying to remove them. 4 out of 10 nuts on the rear, fronts are all fine. Got 3 off just 1 being awkward as. Only way now is to drill the stud out and replace it when the wheel is off.

Has anybody replaced the studs on the rear and are they simple enough when the rear disc is removed?

Cheers Jamie

Thumbs up

Job done. Hardest part drilling out the old stud, as hard as a hard thing! Used some super strong tungsten carbide drill bits. Stud change simple enough. Disc off, handbrake shoes off, abs sensor and phonic wheel off, stud out. Simply reverse to re-build

Just a bit of info if anybody finds themselves in this situation.

Jamie

P.S. don't buy BK wheels, they're crap.
