Default Pulling the axle on a 12bolt

I want to change my wheel studs on my moser 12bolt I have to pull the axles to do this how hard is it? Is it just the 4 bolts that hold it on?

Will I loose any fluids? Have to change any seals?

You will have to take the back cover off and remove the c-clips that hold the axles in so yes u will lose fluid. Its not that hard to do. Google it.

I think the Moser comes with good axle retainer plates but I think they still have the c-clips on the end of the axles

omg... you are just wanted to change studs out? WTF is everyone talking about... take your wheel off, pull the brakes, take the rotor off and then hammer the studs out, use spacers and lugs to pull new ones in. no pulling axle out... jeesh, the way I read that he JUST wants to CHANGE his WHEEL STUDS

Yeah no room for 3.5 studs by not pulling the axles plane and simple.

I have c clip eliminators so it was just the 4 bolts slid out easy and took about 20 mins per side
