Hello, so I am in a bit of a bind right now. I have an 02 with studs I believe they are 38mm long. I need to install spacers on my wheels now due to lowering the car, or should say attempting to. I am missing a stud in the front from the P.O. anyways I was wondering how they are installed so I know how to for one install them correctly and remove them. I need to take one out from the rear so that I can run the front safer than with just 3 studs. Help please.

 

I think they are usually installed by using an Allen wrench that fits in the center of the stud end. Also they have some sort of Locktite on the threads so they won't back out. Take a close look at the end of one and there should be an opening for the hex.

 

The h&R ones come with the thread lock on them and use an allen wrench. -7/2006 12x1.5
