I broke one and stripped another on the same hub. Really soft and gooey those studs. They aren't very easy to find either. I think I should order some just in case. That way, one will break by the time they show up.

Do you guys need to use a torch? Can it be done on the car without a press? Sweet!

Changing wheel studs on my Mustang was a *****. You had to remove the axles from the rear end, use a press (luckily I have a 10-tonner that I have direct access to) - press of the ABS reluctor wheels and go to town on each of the 5 lugs. What a bother.

Glad to hear it's easier on the Suby.

It's actually really easy. If you have a BFH and air tools and more studs.


And you can use Nissan studs, they are 12x1.25 same as the subaru ones.

Ok. Right now, I've got all of the front lugnuts off of it, except for one on the driver's side. I was going to take my Explorer down to Beretania to p/u some more because I've got a part for the tranny waiting for me down there.

If you've got some on hand, I might give you a tele ring a ring, because I don't know how late I'll get off of work, and I know that the parts department closes pretty early.
