^^ appreciated! yes I do have the viscous diff, so this saves me a bit of time this knowledge =) thanks!

You can do it with the sport model one wheel at a time as well, you just will have more resistance turning the hubs.

Ahh, this is good to know for when I do mine! Thanks Chris!

Thanks for the confirmation Chris +1! I wasn't sure if the diff would let it slip or not... :tup:

Yep, never a full lock up with the VSLD. It will be easier though if the fluid is warmed up from driving. If you do drive it to warm it up give it a few minutes before you start working to let the brakes cool off so you don't burn yourself on the rotors :)

Ditto on the VSLD however make sure you have the parking brake disengaged and the car in neutral... I was attempting to remove rotor with the parking brake still on... :rolleyes:

The other thing is that since you are taking the car out of gear and removing the brake you better block the front wheels or jack the entire car at once to avoid rolling.

:iagree: Otherwise, this will happen! BWAHAHHAHAHA

Thanks for the right up

Thanks, did my rears tonight and it was easy with your thread.

I didn't need an impact wrench for the rears but I'm sure I'll need one for the fronts which I'll do tomorrow morning.

I went with Z1 motorsports hub centric spacers.

You are most welcome!

Impact wrench isn't necessary on either end but it does make it a lot quicker. I replaced a set of front studs in the middle of an air field with just hand tools after I had one fail, and it was raining and only 50 degrees :) Definitely prefer a warm garage though.

Yea, I just learned about that yesterday. My impact wrench was not up to the job so I had to get creative without damaging the studs.

I used lug nuts and a breakbar to hold the hub steady so I could tighten down the new stud. All in all, pretty easy without an impact wrench as long as I sprayed some lubricant on the base of the new stud. I think I did the fronts without impact wrench in about 1 hour and a half or less.

Make sure you re-tourque those studs a few times in the next month. I don't like lubricating the studs themselves..... too much risk of them working loose.

Yea, definitely, I check them often because it is a new install...lubricant shouldn't affect it much...after all it is torqued on constantly so it wouldn't just slide out. If my lugs fall out, then I can see more of a chance the stud would back out, but since I check torque, that won't be a problem.

Thanks for the tip still
