What is the ft/lbs to put the Version 2 spacer to the hub on the rear using their lugnuts?
Not sure how Im going to torque em down without a impact gun, but maybe if Im strong enough to hold it from turning.. |

90-100 ft/lbs may be too high. OEM spec for the lug nuts is 75-80 I believe.

Service manual says 80......I always torque to 90 per guidelines for other cars I've owned. I have a dedicated torque wrench just for wheels. The real caution is to avoid putting a 400 ft lb impact gun on them.......10-15 lb differential is not a lot. I'd rather error on the side of tight than loose...YMMV.

just read this thread again as I will need to do this mod soon and have some ideas to save some money... So chime in if more experienced mechanics/DIY'ers disagree..
1. I would take off 1 at a time and remount, but wouldn't it be easier to remove each oem stud using a hammer and punch to "push" them out? 2. Using the access hole, you can punch the new studs back in. 3. I agree using anti-sieze on the spacers so they dont stick and on the studs as well.. Let me know as I plan to do this when weather gets better during a weekend... Turkey cooking and BF shopping had me busy this weekend.. |

On putting them in, it take quite a bit of force. there's not much swinging room back there. Pulling them in with the impact is the best way. Many do not recommend antiseize of lug threads |

No I and many of my friends have used spacers on various cars for many years. Nowhere have we ever seen any evidence of accelerated wheel bearing wear. 10-20mm is not a lot if offset increase.. |

if i have never used an impact gun would you still recommend i do the front stud replacement? that step confuses me....so using the impact gun is bringing the stud out towards "us" to fit in place?
im assuming home depot or such would rent out an impact gun or am i wrong?

The ends of the bolts are knurled, and are normally pressed into the hub. When you install them after initial assembly, they are pulled in with the impact wrench, or you could pull them in the same way manually, but you are putting a the stud into a slighly smaller hole, hence the getting really tired part.

Any experience w/an impact gun? I'll probably tackle it later today....but have never used one. They self explanatory?
