k so i got sum extended studs and tried installin them.

ive replaced other shorter studs before wid no problem at all

i replaced 3 but 1 stud wont stay in, the grooves in teh hub seem to have stuffed up,

wats the easiest way to fix thsi problem

i was thinkin whole hub assembly

BUT

i think i can just change the rotating part of the hub (take off calipers, rotors)
just the rotating thing the studs r on

possible or new assembly?


also

the nuts on the other studs dotn seem to stay tightened, ive got spacers too. is that the issue?

studs should be pressed in. If they are loose , replace with another new item

if the splines are gone you clearly need to replace the hub. The lugs need to be held firm

well, i was extending the studs cause i got sum.

3 fit ok 1 seems to not stay in tehre and keep rotating.

i put in the old one to test and it farkin fell back in the hub and annoyed the **** out of me .
