I ordered replacement studs from mazda and im gonna tap them outta the front droivers rotor tommorow but i need a new set of lug nuts that wont break in the mean time. what size thread to i need. frestyle showed me a set to buy but cuz theyre shiny and cool the thread on em is 12 x 1.5mm, is that what im looking for on a FD

 

Just curious how much the new studs cost you. Thanks.

 

im pretty sure you have the right thread pattern mike



check www.mcgard.com to make sure though

 

new studs were 23 from mazda for 5 or around there ummmm pain in the *** tapping em in without removing the rotor but im lazy and ill find a way

 

just remove the rotor dood.

Unbolt the caliper (two bolts) and slide the rotor off the hub..

Not that hard at all..

 

How about changing a stud in the rear?

 

should be the same as the front

 

HA no way.



YOu gotta pull the hub off and tap in a new one.



much worse then the front.



There is no other way...the damn brake sheild gets in the way.
