Wheel stud install - AUSTIN AREA!

atx370z · 03-23-2011, 04:17 PM

Hey all. Need some assistance from somebody experienced in the art of wheel stud installation. Swapping out my bolt-on ichibas with some H&R DRS spacers. Soul Speed quoted me 760 bucks!!!! I'm thinking 30 minutes per wheel for somebody who's experienced.. not 8 hours of labor.

Ill pay!

I'd help if I was in the area. Its an easy install though, just be careful not to ding up your calipers when you remove your rotors

wow thats a crap price. call uprev and ask them. id offer, but my car is already in about 20 pieces right now.

wow that sounds outrageous for wheel studs, you'll pay alot less than that even if you buy an electric impact gun, the washers and open ended lugs to do it yourself.

have you looked at the diys??
Fronts
Rears

If i didnt work 12hr/day when im in Austin i would volunteer

Rip off, blatant over chargeing pisses me off

Curious - are you doing the front, rear, or both?
