hi everyone, hope you're all having a fun filled weekend of joy?
i spent most of today replacing the front disc pads, managed to get a set for £16 from a local autoparts place
seems someone ordered them and never picked them up....
well anyway to the real reason for this thread. in the process of trying to remove a front wheel, i managed to shear one of the wheel nuts off along with its stud. once i'd used all the 4-letter words immediately available to describe the situation, i composed myself and replaced the disc pads, etc, etc.
so, i used the search button on here and found i can get replacement studs and wheel nuts - excellent - what i couldnt find was explanation of how to actually install a new stud.
i'm aware that i can bash the old one out and bash the new one in, but do i have to take the whole hub and disc thingy off, or can the disc assembly be moved back far enough for me to do the work without having to take the whole thing to pieces?
thanks for any info/pics
