hey guys welcome back to the channel so if you've been following my build on the IS300 you notice I
put the new brembos the 17z brembos on here a couple weeks ago and in order to do that I had
to put a 20 millimeter spacer to fit my wheels my SSR Konig Wheels right now I've got the type
where you actually bolted on and it's got the its own lugs in it I really don't like this
design because of safety right now I've got this spacer bolted onto here and this spacer is the
weak point and this could potentially break off of the Hub and have the whole wheel come off what
I'm going to do today I'm going to be installing some extended lugs on here so stay tuned foreign
so what we're going to be installing today is these eBay 36 dollar studs and these are one of
the top reviewed studs on eBay the seller sells thousands of these and I chose these over other
options including ARP just because the price obviously I got all 20 of them plus this extra
one that came in the package for 36 dollars and I'm not gonna complain for 36 dollars that's the
price of actually just one Hub of Arps there's another brand called 1320 performance made by
all out fabrication and theirs is about half the price of ARP so to get all 20 of these I
chose these because I read all the reviews and the comments and they were pretty good these
things are actually pretty nice when you look at them they've got everything like the Arps
and the 1320s have they're a nice zinc coating just like all the others they're also rated at
a 10.9 as far as strength which is also the same as ARP and the 1320s so you can't go wrong with
these and plus they're wheel studs as long as they hold then and they don't break on you they should
be good and don't get me wrong about the Arps Arps are very good proven Brands and they make
great products but for what I need on my car I'm daily driving this thing I'm not really tracking
it so these eBay studs with the strength rating that they're at should work fine for me if you're
doing heavy tracking or drifting and you need a really reliable look I really recommend you
go with the Arps just for the peace of mind but obviously for my purposes these will do fine if I
ever built a race car or a drift car I'd actually go with the Arps but for for this project I might
just go with these for the install and removal of the existing studs all you really need is a hammer
I got this heavy duty engineering Hammer to tap these things out pretty easily and to reinstall
them you need something like this this is an actual stud installer it's an actual bearing that
you put it over and then you screw it in your lug right here it helps you actually spin the actual
thing onto there and you pull it through without damaging in this stud and putting pressure on this
third and torque on this third and it's also much better than using older methods with washers where
you have to have a sacrificial lug nut with this thing you can use your regular lug nut and screw
it on without destroying your lug nut so if you guys need any of these products whether it's these
exact ones the 1320 performance ones or the Arps check out the links down in the description I'll
link to Amazon and eBay where you can find these for the lowest price in addition if you need this
exact tool right here I'll also link to Amazon so as far as the actual install or the removal of the
studs obviously we gotta take all this stuff apart on some cars if you don't have your dust
shield back here or any of this stuff you might be able to just tap it out with the brake still
on and pull it through with the Hub and the brake on but for my setup it's very tight back there
I still have part of my shield back there and I don't think I could tap it out and get the longer
one in so I'm gonna go ahead and just remove the caliper remove the rotor and work from behind so
I end both in my cow upper and I just held it up right now with some bungee cords to get it out of
the way and also not damage my nice new powder coating if you guys haven't seen that video go
ahead and check out that video of me installing that system on there it should be in a link up
in the corner here but other than that now that we're in here and we took that off I actually have
a bunch of room because I did all that shaving back here and you can see right now you could
get access to all the bolts right in the back there and without even taking off your rotor so
I might just end up doing that but since I already have the caliper off it might just be easier just
to pull the rotor off how I'm in here all right I've gotten the rotor off and we're in the hub now
as you can see we have full access to everything this is probably the easiest way to do it if you
want to take everything apart but it's going to make your life much easier versus leaving the Hub
on and leaving the caliper on so the first thing you want to do just tap these through one or two
Taps should knock this through depending on how much corrosion and rust that you have on your hub
so see that one took a little bit longer because of 20 years worth of corrosion on here foreign
off and we're gonna go ahead and put one of the new ones on so putting it on is pretty easy just
kind of stick it there and then we want to use our new little tool here that we bought
go ahead and put it on there and then take one of your so you want to get a lug nut you could
use one of your old ones or a sacrificial one depending on if you want to get rid of
it or you want to damage one of your good lugs and we'll go ahead and just hand crank it down
pull it through if you have an impact you might want to just shoot it with the impact also once
you get it on here just to get it through because as you can see I'm having trouble because I can't
control this thing because it's spinning so much so I use my impact on the lowest setting
foreign
right there perfect go ahead and shoot it off
there it is got the first extended lug on make sure that thing's square if you're not
sure you might want to just put it in there and torque it down to 85 foot pounds just
so go ahead and tap these out I'm just going to place it between two two by four pieces of wood
and just tap it through that way I don't damage the actual spacer and I can knock it out foreign
man that thing's not going anywhere to help tap these out a little bit quicker I actually
froze them to contract them a little bit to see if I could Hammer these studs out better
thank you
all right
foreign
all right we were able to get everything installed back on together here so it looks like it's pretty
easy step process as you guys can see there's not much to it if you have all the right tools
and you get everything put on this Lane there's no stop in this Frame cause I came to the game
and I changed it to play how I like rearranged it to my own domain yeah I got what it takes
made lots of mistakes taking shots keeping breaks feeling lost feeling great popping off singing
straight never stop never changed all the squad here to play and I've got something to say yeah
I work hard each and every day I get lost in the words I say hey guys thanks for joining me
all the way to the end of this quick video on installing these new extended lugs as you can
see installing them is pretty easy if you have the ability to just take about all your brakes
if you have the right tools like this thing right here and just a little bit of patience getting it
on if you guys found this video useful give it a thumbs up if you haven't subscribed to our
Channel go ahead and subscribe to the channel stay on top of all my different DIY videos on
