For anyone who has done this... Anything special you have to do on the C6 hub to press out the old studs and press in the new ones? I need to find a picture of a hub, but I am assuming there is room at some rotation point to get a press on the back side? Did you use a hydraulic press to do this?
I'd like to get some longer studs on mine as well...
I used Moroso quick start dog end else called bullet nose these are like the factory so tire place employees don't cross threads.
Moroso P# 46445 12mm x 1.5 x 3.25 .509 diameter knurl.
Must remove spindles as the longer studs will not make the turn from the back as is possible with the stock size.
When replacing studs don't drop spindles as they have speed sensor build in and don't hammer studs in instead use a greased flat end lug nut to pull them in with a long 1/2 inch ratchet or a braker bar, this is best done on a bench vise.
When removing studs put the stud head between the two jaws of a bench vise as to keep from shocking the spindle sensor then hammer them off to avoid a service traction control light.
The studs are an inch longer so you would have to either trim them down to the size you need, or go with longer aftermarket wheel nuts that have closed ends
