I plan to replace all 20 of my wheel studs , I currently have ugly longer studs fitted.

How can I do this without damaging the studs I am removing ?

Thanks

If I was doin it I would use a sacrifce nut to screw on to each stud, and tap em out with a hammer. But I tend to be a little agricultural.

ur only going to waste a couple of nuts if you use the dome type, but as mentioned they tap out, make sure you remove the ABS rings first though

I will be replacing them with dome nuts - at the moment they have what looks like normal nuts on there. I will find some to protect the stud faces though - cheers for the tip !

Abs ring , is that on the rear ? What exactly do I need to remove and is the front the same as the rear ?

Just saw your thread. I've been using an angle grinder with a 1mm disc, from screwfix, and cutting 10mm studding in seconds. You'd have to dress up the cut ends but this could be easier than replacing the studs.

Just cut the studs to length, much easier and cheaper than replacing them all.

Ooooops i have already bought the replacement studs , nuts and lockers. They will look much smarter once done PLUS i will use the oppourtunity to tidy up & paint my calipers etc.
