Is it easy to change the wheel studs (FRC7577)
I'm generally ok with spanners ... but no mechanic.

Just wondering what is involved in changing the wheel studs for longer ones.

i.e. for wolf rims

Normally easy, as they are just pressed in, but if they don't want to come out you may have work a bit harder, but you will have to strip the bearings.

The basics are

Jack up
Remove wheel
Remove drive flange
Remove brake calliper
Remove wheel bearing
Remove brake disc with hub.
Then smack out the old studs, tap in new studs
Rebuild

Depends which studs you have, on older vehicles, the studs are slightly shorter. And wolf wheels are slightly thicker, so longer studs are needed.

It'll be cool not to have to change them.
Mine came with the 5.5 ice cream steel's, are the studs good for the Wolf rim?
