8 cars, I think, with repairs & maintenance & mods on Friday.

It was a good time and the start of an all-around great weekend! Maybe next time we can all enjoy a salad afterward.

That wasn't just Hoosier crack I was dealing- you can't resist the pull of S2000 crack forever!

I have a feeling that replacing a wheel stud is going to be a lot harder than installing a swaybar was.

Scott, you left your little service manual booklet, would you like me to hold on to it for you?

Unless it is a weird hub assembly, it should be cake... You may not even have to take off the caliper/rotor..

1. Get a replacement stud, wheel nut, and a normal flat face nut and washer in the same thread as the stud.

2. Take off the wheeel. Hopefully there is at least one spot on the hub where a stud can slip out the back without having to disassemble the bloody thing.

3. You are going to need hammer, preferably soft metal, and heavy, and a deep socket that fits the flat nut you got, and an impact wrench...

4. Line up the broken stud with the "hole" if necessary, andbang it out.

5. Slip the new one in, lining up the splines as close as possible.

6. Put the washer on, and then the flat nut.

7. Verify the spline alignment and tighten with hand tools to start sucking the stud into hub.

8. Suck it in the rest of the way with the impact wrench. Don't over do it. The rear of the stud shou.d fee the same as the others, and the front should be as long as the others.

9. Undo the flat nut and washer and reinstall wheels, and torque as normal.

10. Recheck torque after a quick jaunt, and then again after a day or so.

Keep it, toss it, light it on fire, I care not... I printed it from the CD I've got, so I can print it again it necessary, not that I would need to since I know how to do the brakes now anyway.

I was worried that I would have to remove the hub from the end of the axle. Should be a piece of cake...
