Installed ARP wheel studs
Installed ARP wheel studs I just finished installing the 3.25" ARP studs on the front of the Camaro. Here are some pics of the process. Just thought I'd share.
After pounding out the stock studs. Big hammer + WD-40.
Difference from Stock to ARP
Set in the hub
The teeth that have to be pulled into the hub
Insert hardened 1/2" washers over the stud
Thread a cheap lug nut. Don't use the stock GM ones.
Use impact wrench (wish I bought one of these years ago..) until it pulls the new stud in.
Stud fully pressed into the hub
End result:
It may not look the coolest, but it will be safe at the track, and allow me to run the new slicks and skinnies.

Ah good point. I soaked them in WD-40 for about a day and a half (several times per day). They came out without much trouble. Is there another way to remove them thats better? I found most of the instructions on here.

Everything you need to do is in the pics. Its pretty straightforward. There were only like 2 spots where it wouldn't fit, but all you had to do was turn it just a little and you have total access.

regardless... The other way to do it would be to completely disassemble the suspension and take the hub off. Then take the hub and have the stock studs pressed out and new ones pressed into the hub and reassemble.
Well that is the correct way to do it. Thats how I had my ARP studs installed.
Yes that is the correct way to do it but as long as you are careful it is not that bad to just hammer them out. And besides like the one guy said a few hits with the hammer is nothing compared to hitting a pot-hole or something driving on the streets
