    It just looks like you are trying to fuck something up to me. I would suggest doing it the right way.

    THIS


    Just remove the hubs and do it the right way, takes a little over an hour to do the whole car if you have the right tools...

    Yea ive done 1 or 2 a while back but IIRC it was a bit of a bitch to get back in the hole. I know theres a spot on the hub that you have to turn where the stud will go in but just didnt know if anyone else has actually tried this.

    Cause I agree it does look a little sketch thats why I asked

    I've done it that way many times. Some makes already have the shoulder modified that way brand new. On a Honda, the torque spec is only 80 ft lbs so its not likely to pull through the hub anyways.

    Component parts are designed to be installed, removed, and used in a certain way. When you do this as a shortcut, you are essentially compromising that component.


    Hey, it's only holding your wheels onto the car, it's not THAT important, grind a little more off and use some hot glue to hold it on.

    You can get a press at harbor Freight for less than 100 dollars that will work to push out the bearings

    It was the best 65.00 I think I have even spent at harbor freight

    no no no, I know that wasnt you. I was simply goofing on the stellar workmanship concept, not your efforts.
