I tried searching, but came up empty.

Have any of you replaced wheel studs on the G35 yet? I've done it on other cars not too bad, but I wonder how it is on the G.

 

Its not to bad at all really...

have to remove the caliper / rotor and then you can tap them out / pull them through the hub...

Do you already have the studs?

Are you using OE length or extended hub bolts?

 

Thats what I figured. No I haven't picked up the studs yet. I would use OEM's not extended.

I have no problem doing it myself, but its starting to get cold. The local infiniti dealership is asking for $150 for one stud.

 

WHAT?!

Each stud is like $2.85 at most... plus shipping from me...

Maybe they are charging 1.5 hours labor with it?!

 

are the studs what you screw the lug nuts into? my rims recently got attempted-stolen and so my lock was halfway screwed out and it was jammed in there so i couldnt screw it back in or out. so right now i have 3 out of the 5 studs and when i called a shop he was asking 60 bucks for each stud and to install it would be somewhere in the 100s for each stud!

 

they are really easy to install... just have to take off the caliper / rotor. . they tap out / pull through the hub...

yes they are what the lug nuts bolt on to...

 

Its totally labor time. When I did it you rent out the stud puller and bam its done. The problem is my nut is spinning on the bolt and I don't want to split it to get it off.

 

why rent a stud puller?

get an open ended lug nut and some washers

 

um i bought them from my dealer at the price Jason said.

However i couldn't get my rotors off so i had to take it to my body shop to replace the studs

 

front or rear rotors?

if rear... was your ebrake on?

 

^ It was the front rotors. Come spring time i will try to do the rotors all around 1 more time.

 

Rotors.... hate them.

I changed my rear brakes recently the rotors were a mother's *** to try and take off. It took a half a can of WD40 and a rubber mallet to get it off. I was just about to give up when all of a sudden it slide off by itself. I used some anti-seize lubricant let's see how it works out.

The stud puller makes it easy. Especially now in the winter there is a ton of contraction going on further making it difficult. Keep in mind here in the NE we are at about high 20's into 30's.

Jay I will definitely get back to you. Perhaps to buy other parts too. I may need to get front brake pads and rotors as well. OEM.

 

can i order some studs from you? 3 shipped to 92612

 

of course! sending PM...

 

Jason, can you get longer studs? My new brake hats are thicker and I need ~5mm longer studs.
