Finally! Achieving Flush Wheel Fitment // MR2 Stud Replacement

[@jpiazzola]

You have to be one of the hardest working KZbinrs. Don't know where you get all the energy to do the work and the creativity to put together such high quality videos. Of course, I'm 77 yrs old so get tired just watching you. Love your channel!

[@bigblock53]

i like that you used longer studs, with wheel spacers. and that is the rite way to put a stud in the hub ive been doing that for 25 years.

[@sliscotti86]

Mr. Dos is looking good. You are my favorite youtuber. Your personality shines through in every video.

[@rrudydedogg3779]

Sarah, I lived in Tucson for 27 years and moved away in December of '99. I still have friends there that I miss and watching your videos when you drive around the area brings back such memories. Well, thanks in part to you, my wife and I are driving to Tucson for a week's stay and we are really excited about it. I can't wait to hit Lucky Wishbone and Luke's Chicago Style again!!! Thank you for the inspiration!!

[@jaytownjunkyardfiles1999]

I cant wait to move from the North East coast to the South West! Have an enjoyable and safe trip.

Long rod hard wood. Safe and sound. This video is art.

[@swwy5]

Sarah, you are a gem, a true delight ! Sounds like a good plan for the TT.

A clean garage is healthy for our favorite garage dweller :)

[@BigGuyBiggerTruck]

just started going through your vids. i've really enjoyed how palatable you make whatever you're reviewing/working on. you take a lot of time explaining what you're doing and i dont feel like you skip any steps for the sake of video time. killer content, keep it up :D

[@Dave-fx5zw]

I really enjoyed this video. You didn't make any huge progress on the car, probably spent way more time cleaning your garage that lasted 5 seconds for us than with the mr2, but it was fun. You seemed to be in a good mood the whole time. Getting some work done and chatting with us while you did, I like this a lot more than you getting beat up and stressed out while trying to make huge progress in a couple days for the 15 minutes we see.

[@wayne-oo]

You make every mechanic shed a tear when you use chrome sockets on your impact !

[@chief27]

For the 17x8 you can put 245/35/17 tyre and for the rear the 17x9, you can install 265/35/17 . These tyre dimension will get you the flush look that you want and you won't loose the index coefficient for the gearing.

[@chief27]

@@dr_rrichterr No need for the speedometer to be calibrated. The specific profiles have less than 1% diameter difference (about -0.4%) and in any case all speedometers "cheat" by usually showing you slightly more speed than your actual one (easily confirmed with a GPS) . if anything with the above recommended setup for the MR2, you'll correct slightly the accuracy of the speedo. For more details you go in a tire size calculator page like this one : www.1010tires.com/Tools/Tire-Size-Calculator and see all possible combinations. For safety reasons, you must not go over 3% difference. Hope I helped...

[@stefanczechorskidds8435]

Good Testing method - so far! One more tip.... as we know how particular you are. When you get the wheels and spec's / offsets etc. you want (if they are new) , do not have them mounted with new tires yet..... cover the backs of the wheel hub with tape and tape up the wheel studs also , then test fit them to the car. That way if they are not as you envisioned, you can exchange them for a different spec. Just don't have them fitted with new tires until you are certain of the look you want. There are also temples you can use for calculating offsets , but......

[@3horsesmr]

It is nice that you clean and paint things while working on them. I admire that. Your way of redoing a car is admirable, even with a flip vehicle. It shows pride and honesty. That is a quality that is hard to find in people now days. A lot of people do the bare minimum and call it good.

[@stacydornan9765]

The garage floor,wheel hubs and yourself are all look in awesome,later Sarah,with love from Canada,you rock girl

[@1941paco]

Oh Hell Yea!! 20 studs........Yup, she said that.........WOW! Yessa, she said THAT too........man there's something about the word stud....... Keep up the great work Sarah, the stud handling is just fine!

[@scottspoerlein1650]

Actually the "proper" way to install studs is a hydraulic press. Sarah is correct when she said you could damage the stud by pulling through using the impact. I damaged one buy using the 2 nut method and a breaker bar on my daughters Probe.

[@ramonpunsalang3397]

I'm glad you're keeping Mr.Dos, he's coming along fine

[@JoDoDesigns2011]

Great idea using the broom handle to keep the hub from turning

[@WrenchingOnCars]

Priceless. All it needed was the red tank top from the intro. Sarah, you are a treasure.

[@RC.Time-Crawlers]

You keep it fresh by just being you 😁👍

[@noturbo]

its good to know i am not the only one who makes tennis player type grunting noises while working on a car, well done :)

[@mzondi1970]

Still glad you decided to keep the mr2. I had a first gen super charged and a twin to MR dos non turbo. I regret getting rid of either. Keep it,enjoy it. They are only going up in value.

[@todddembsky8321]

And here I thought I saw your next build in the Vid. Modifying the broom to add leather grips and Binford 9000 thruster sweeps.

[@RobWhittlestone]

Do you think she's secretly into Quidditch?!

[@TheLazyAmbitious]

This was perfect timing. I need to replace the studs on my FG2 and I was wanting to watch a video on it. Thanks Sarah 👍

[@SarahnTuned]

Graham Monteith I was shocked how easy they were on the MR2.

[@UnkTob]

Lucky studs! 😜 Love your humor and silliness! Great video as always! 😀👍❤️

[@Dave-fx5zw]

Floor cleaned up pretty nice, huge benefit of being sealed. So glad you're finishing the TT, I know there were a ton of plans along the way, but the before vs now with all the work and upgrades you've already done is a huge improvement, just a little more work til it's mechanically sound.

[@mikeyp1977]

Never has 15 mins gone by so quick 👍

[@geewiltshier2251]

Aint that the truth

[@GhostRyderFPV]

20 VERY happy studs :)

[@jdcarguy1242]

Guaranteed you are getting more than 20 studs off every video. Nice work.

[@GoatOffroad]

Hilarious! My fiancé teases me just like that!

[@HoweDoYouDo1999]

Hehe nice work in deed that is a paycheck bonus right there for sarah to cash in cause yes sarah could use some glam up money😂😂. Spending so much on cars don’t help personal matters

[@morthomer5804]

By hand too. No power assists

[@Paul_VanGo]

Well, "you can slip the new stud in through the back of it. Because when you you try it up there, you wouldn't exactly have clearance to get the stud in there" ... That's what she said. @07:00 That counts for something...

[@THEREALTJP]

From 1 T1D to another... you're amazing!

[@buttercupstruelove340]

Another tool that can be used to pull studs through the hub using a single nut is a pass-through socket/ratchet set. It's main purpose is to remove and replace front and rear struts. The socket fits over any length stud and allows the use of a hex key to keep the strut from turning as the nut is tightened on the top of the strut while using the ratchet.

[@rman8028]

Note to self: breakfast cereal hurts when being shot out the nose, laughing @ Sarah 'banging out 20 studs'!

[@mikepawloski6430]

Enjoy the work you do. This old dog has learned some new tricks! Also, in regards to the TT, I don't think you could just "dump" it in good conscience. The impression I get from you, is that you'd probably "repo" it and do it right anyway, then return it to the new owner. Keep up the good work! Really looking forward to the new rally project!

[@DjDubStak]

I absolutely LOVE how u do what u do. Cleaning the garage was awesome. Glad to see snippets of that. It's such a pleasure watching your vids. It don't matter what u doin, u make it entertaining..... U gotz skillz Gurl.

[@cmdrdarwin3682]

Sarah, I think you should look for an old pickup truck (1940s-1960s) for your next build. You could make it a resto-mod any way you want.

[@Dan-56]

The look on your face after the “stud” comments was priceless ! 😆👍

[@DjDubStak]

I watched it more than once lol

[@laszlodesimon4768]

Great video, both for the garage clean, and wheel fitment! Your garage looked very nice after your reorganization and the wheel replacement was informative and well done! I know I'm one of the "studs" you got off! You're awesome and love your sense of humor, thanks.👍

[@guille92h]

Very good work cleaning the rotor, look almost like new, and you know that those small things are valuable, you always take care of the small details, good thing.

[@802Garage]

I totally agree with you that Toyota thinks about mechanics while engineering. I have found the same with Subaru for sure. I think it's a very Japanese engineering ethos. I think "finishing" the TT and moving on is the right move. For the channel and your sanity! Can't wait to see the new wheel setup! :D

[@1974UTuber]

I didnt mind the little fidly bits of the TT build and the really fine detail. Your videos are always exciting but looking forward to your next project cause I love the way you attack things and the effort you go to. Also its great watching you get so excited over the big stuff as well. More excited than you can get over new spark plugs anyway. 1 Spark plug ah ah ah 2 spark plugs ah ah ah.

[@ericcorse]

I can't blame you for cleaning the floor as much time as you spend on it. your attention to detail show Mr Dos is looking fantastic.

[@jonathankent5898]

Good decision on the TT! After you finish fixing all the little gremlins that it has, maybe drive it for a few months before selling it. Have a little fun with it! If you are still looking for suggestions for future project cars, what do you think about a Mitsubishi 3000 GT or a Buick Grand National?

[@SarahnTuned]

Jonathan Kent I might put it in storage now actually.

[@ahmadghosheh3104]

Thank you Sarah, I never knew how to replace the studs. I learned a lot. Great work.

[@JDK73772]

One thing I always do when installing wheel studs is put a small dab of anti seize on the threads the help alleviate some stress

Hey I thought that I was the only one to believe that Toyota Engineers really thought about the Mechanics who would maintain the cars they designed. its great to see that someone else thinks they really put a lot of effort for serviceability.

I only caught the end of the live video. I agree with fixing the TT to make it right, then selling it. It's as you correctly said becoming a money pit. Just replacing parts instead of doing upgrades. Looking forward to whatever you get next. Would love to see a WRX or STI.

[@1970chevelle396]

Lisle makes a tool for putting those studs in. It's basically just a thrust bearing then you use a regular nut on it.

[@raymaiden958]

40 studs (20 off & 20 on) in 15:39 minutes that's gotta be a some sort of "automotive" record; all on a spotless floor too. Keep up the great vids.

[@HoweDoYouDo1999]

Hehehehe I think I would care enough to watch sarahs content and allow Sarah to have a little fun cause yes the amount of time sarah puts into these cars still makes my mind hurt cause I don’t know how one person can put aside emotions aside just to work on cars for others to see. It’s like blow me down. I can’t do that my head would collapse😂

Sarah, your garage looks so good, that is on my agenda Garage clean can't wait

[@kevinswenson3345]

A ratcheting breaker bar is a worthwhile investment... or a pipe to slide over your 1/2 in ratchet. Would have saved loads of time doing it the "right way"

Excited to see the new build coming soon.

[@rmjmotoring]

Clean garage is always good, feel your pain Chica, great job on Señor Dos. Keep it up

[@BornRandy62]

an old school method for seating wheel lug nut studs is to use the lug nut backwards to resent a flat wrenching surface to the rotor of wheel hub. using a flat washer if they have an uneven surface can be done too. but I am an old geezer what do I know?

[@PeanutEOD]

I love a clean garage!

[@RichJ_youtube]

Using a ball joint separator/press auto parts store rental tool works much better. I’ve done it both ways. Also, it’s safer for the studs.

This just saved me the headache of removing the hub to press in the studs, Im not going for flush fitment though 🙃 We poke out here

[@kellypaws]

Well, you do. I don't, because I think it's entirely wrong.

[@salloroc20]

A nice trick is to use nickel anti seize on the studs. It cuts down on friction by approx 35%.

[@MuffinMan0521]

As much as you work on your car I highly suggest investing in an electric impact like the Milwaukee Fuel. It's my most used tool. You'd have those extended lugs pulled through in seconds. Additionally, a drill with a socket bit attachment makes taking smaller, less torqued down bolts out and in. The endless ratcheting has got to be getting old for you personally.

[@andrewsgarage796]

Smart move on the TT, Have just traded the 2007 model in for a newer A4, with none of the warning lights and issues of that model, AUDI make great cars but have their own personality The word black hole comes into cars when you pump so much into a car it never comes back Love the videos please keep them coming Best regards from Downunder Andrew

[@Major-Kong]

I normally fit studs by stacking a bunch of large Grade 10 washers on it with the right sized nut, grease the shit out of it then gun it on, Been doing it that way for the 19 years I've been a mechanic, I've only ever damaged 1 stud.
