T55

T55 is the correct bit.

Poor-sha

How about taking some pics and doing a write-up on hub replacement while you're doing it? I expect to be putting the SKF hubs in mine this coming year.

should be nice outside so i can try to work on it.

How do you define "nice outside" in SD this time of the year?

it is 60 outside and sunny, so a sweat shirt and jeans is all that was needed in the garage to stay warm.

didnt even need to remove the hub to change out the wheel studs. was pretty easy 1st side too a bit since i dissassembled further then needed.

2nd side i removed the quantum ducts, rotor, caliper. and was done in 30 minutes.

Was adding longer wheel studs to accomodate spacers for my ap kit to use stock wheels on the street.

My front right hub started complaining loudly at the last track event. Probably should change all four. This will be the second time.

Thanks!

sorry guys was short on time today and didnt have time to make a DIY thread.

it is pretty easy though

just disconnect tie rod, upper a arm, lower A arm.

take off caliper, rotor. disconnect hub electronics.

the hub should be loose then. take off the 3 torx 55 bolts.

hubs should come out.

pound out the old wheel studs and use some washers and a nut to get them pressed back into the splines. tighten em up. and reverse install
