DIY: ** Rear 20mm stud replacement spacers

SiRay, what did you end up going with, size-wise? I'm sure you said, but I'm too lazy to search!

Thanks for posting this pic!
I was trying to explain how to do this without an impact wrench, but your picture is much more effective than my written explanation

+1 on NOT lubing the studs.

Repped.

You might consider putting a pipe fitting over the studs where the breaker bar touches them because you don't want to damage the threads. Great pic by the way! And nice garage flooring also.

I went with 20mm front/rear...stock suspension.

I was in a pinch because my little impact wrench couldn't do it...I guess I'm not as creative as I thought since others seem to have accomplished this without impact also

How did you other guys hold the hub while doing the fronts. The rears I just put it into gear and it held fine...not sure if this is bad...but I got it done without putting too much force on the studs.

Also for the front studs..I made sure my breaker bar did not touch any of the threads of the new studs. The breaker bar rested only on the lug nuts and the stock hub ring. I was very careful about this as I did not want threads to be damaged.

Regarding the garage flooring...I like the flooring but it was done wrong by the guy I hired...I don't think he put a layer to protect the floor so I have brown spots burnt in from hot tires It is not suppose to change colors from hot tires.

That's what I thought when I first saw the picture. It's a pretty nifty idea if you don't have (or want to use) an impact wrench, but I'd definitely want to protect the threads.

Went to Nissan to price this change up. $600+ and 5.5 hours. It claims the whole hub assembly has to "be disassembled" in order to remove and replace studs. I laughed. Spoke to him, explained what I saw and read in this thread, then I showed him all the pictures. He was surprised and agreed to put the car up on the lift and give it a try by following these instructions.

Ah, the ole "We'll take a whack at it!" - I'd be hesitant to let these guys put my son's bicycle up on the lift.

All kidding aside, I did the job without a lift in less than 5 hours and that included ample drink breaks (if you show him this, make sure he knows the difference between breaks and brakes).
