Changing stud (stange 12bolt)
Ok, since the search isn't working
What is the easiest way to change a stud in a strange 12bolt non-TCS car?
I stripped it using some borrowed lugs and at first I tried to beat it out with a hammer (as I have done with stock ones) but when it wouldn't budge I took the rotor off to find that it is threaded in
So long story short I can't find a way to unthread it with the Ebrake on and was wondering how people do it since the hole for the TCS sensor seems to be blocked?
Also a part number for stock length and thread stud would be great.
Thanks in advance
PS, the reason for this thread is to attempt to find a way to change it without removing the berring and backing plate and then having to buy a new berring and have it pressed on yada yada.

Mine was pretty simple. You just take the caliper off, remove the 4 bolts holding the backing plate on and then spin the plate enough to get a socket on the back of the lug. I didn't have to replace the bearing or anything. Of course this may not have helped at all because I'm not sure how different the ls and lt 12-bolts are.

can you thread 2 nuts onto the stud? if you can put the 2 nuts on, tighten them into each other then use your choice of wrench on just one nut and unthread it that way.
