Started tackling the front wheel hubs today, planned to put in the ARP studs in the front and test the fitment with the R40's. However when I exposed the wheel hubs, I found that the splines had stripped out on the hubs, not on the studs
FML. So I will be ordering new front wheel hubs tomorrow. Trying to get a feel for what is on the aftermarket, but it looks like the OEM's will be the easiest to source/best bet. Once those are in at least it will be easy to install the studs!

Trying to get the wheel hub assembly's off has been a nightmare, they are completely seized in there. I was looking back at the DIY for installing the ARP wheel studs, and it simply says 'remove wheel hub' i LOL'd a few times. If only it was anywhere near that easy!

After this nightmare is finally sorted out, I think I'll take it to Nissan to change out the rear studs. Maybe I'll just go the whole 9 and buy new rear hubs while I'm at it, then everything will be brand new. Total cost of running the pretty aluminum nuts so far: $800/12 hours of my time. BIG MISTAKE!
