Anyone know how to install one of these? One on my front right wheel is stripped...i juts bought a new one at the dealer for $3, but need to get it installed. Dealer wants $40...anyone know how to install these?

 

its easy........ remove the wheel, caliper and rotor and tap it out..... then put the new one in, put your lug nut on and tighten the lug nut, this will pull the stud in flush, then remove the lug nut and put the rotor, caliper and wheel back on, takes 20-30 mins tops....

 

This should help you it's for the Z but the same setup

sorry, dumb question, but...when sliding the caliper off...does that require me to c-clamp the pads in place or place a block or something in there so the pistons dont come out? i have brembo's by the way. is there some procedure on sliding the calipers out?

 

just take it to corner 3 garage in lake forest.. i did all 20 of mine there.. dont ask why 20 were stripped :P

 

Hey how much did that run you about?

 

i dont wanna mess with my brakes...when sliding the calipers off, wont i have to c-clamp the pads down so they dont come out? And....if i were not to repair it asap, is it bad to ride around with 4 lug nuts?

 

riding with 4 is not good.. but i "had" to do it till i had money for the repair... i dont think corner 3 will charge you too much to do 1 stud... they gave me a good deal to do all 20.. dont really wanna say how much since nima really hooked it up :P

 

booo, they're charging more than tustin infiniti....everywhere i called wants more than the dealer...i guess im going to dealer

 

how much is the dealership charging you?? are you sure you told nima its only 1 stud.. i was thinking that maybe he'd charge 20$ or something like that

 

I'm surprised the dealership is only charging $40.

Just because it's one stud doesn't mean it's easy.
It still requires some work to just get to the point where the bolts are accessible.

It doesn't take that much work. The guy at "Tires Buy Mark" in Canoga Park did it in ten minutes after they stripped one of my bolts.

 

i saw them today...it seemed SOOO easy, in and out in literally 15 minutes. lifted the caliper, pulled the rotor, used and mallet and pushed out hte bolt, then put new one in and torqued it and put it back together....I ended up going to 3 corner...tustin infiniti didnt have time for me today
