Just got a set of ichiba 15mm spacers that I bought from, member: Kyosho.
I didn't think about this until I saw the spacer, but HOLY SH**!!! Do I have to take the rotor off to put the longer studs in?? Or. do they just bang out with rubber mallet or hammer?
I'm hoping someone here knows before I jack up the car and take a wheel off to find out. If ima have to take the rotor off, this is gonna have to wait and get installed on another day.

thanks for the help

 

you shouldn't need to remove the rotor. turn the rotor to expose one of the
back of the stud completely, tap it with a mallet (put a piece of wood
over your stock stud) and it should plop off. then turn the rotor, expose
your next stud and repeat. it's a tedius process. don't bang on the stud
if it doesn't come out. Put some wd40 from the back and let it soak a little.

for the new ones, just pull the new studs from the back of the rotor
towards the front. you'll probably want to tap it from the back to
front. use a small piece of wood and mallet and tap it. don't bang
on it as you might damage the rotor and bearing... or just put your
lug nut loosely on the new stud and just pull until the stud is at least
1/4" of the way into the rotor. it will assemble itself into the rotor
when you torque down your lugs with the wheel.

i didn't want to deal with this since i use the stock wheels in the winter
and did the Kics 15mm spacers that comes with studs on the spacer.

 

thanks for the info. I'm going to try that when I get off work. I'm assuming this process will work for all 4 wheels.
I only have a pair right now and will probably install them on the front while I wait for the other pair to be shipped (actually, haven't even ordered them yet)

 

yep. i haven't personally done it on this car since i got the Kics but
its the same way for cars with studs on the rotor.

 

Did this technique work? I'm installing my spacers in the next few days and I'd like to get some confirmation on the topic.

Thanks!
