How to Properly Install Extended Wheel Studs & Spacers // NEW WHEEL REVEAL

STAY TIL THE END, YOU’LL SEE MY NEW WHEEL SETUP!!!
There are different 3 ways to install extended studs; pressing, hitting, and pressing. All 3 ways will get the job done, however one of them makes more sense than the others. Pressing them into the hub will be the safest, hitting them in will be the cheapest, however pulling them through takes the least amount of time with the least amount of effort.
In this video, I show you I swapped over the short wheel studs on my Nissan 370Z for some ARP extended studs, without destroying lug nuts, without using any shop grade tools, while outlining the entire process with torque specs and the tools/parts used.
Feel free to take a look at the tools and products I’ve outlined in this video. By purchasing items below, it helps my channel operate and brings more awesome content your ways. Thank you all for your generous support!! 💙

What do you guys have planned for this weekend? ENJOY IT!!

[@LtDan-ov6bf]

Home where it's safe.... Happy 4th to you and your family!

[@thetraindriver01]

Detailing my car 👍👍

[@usmanhaider8490]

You know, your content has improved over the years.

[@boomerspeed0124]

Just found your channel, and I love it so far! So much detail, you make things simple and I really appreciate that. I don't have a 370, but I previously have a 2010 G coupe and currently have a 2011 G Sedan, so a lot of your videos will still be very applicable

[@andrewarensberg3001]

I sub’d for accord videos what seems like forever ago, but I always learn something regardless of vehicle application. Your production quality has improved so much, too! Hopefully there’s no end in sight for your channel. Thank you!

[@milanmastracci]

I appreciate that a lot! Thanks Andrew 👊

[@NicoRitondale]

Yhea lo love the accord

[@beast11135]

I've been subscribed to you for years and this is the first time I got a video suggestion of yours in maybe a year.

[@milanmastracci]

[@tylerford2651]

Love the detail u put in the video. No time lapse just to the point and good information

[@milanmastracci]

Glad you liked it!

[@JohnPodesta-yu4tf]

Great video. Much easier than I expected!

[@domnefo]

Man this should be the standard for how-to videos on KZbin, very well done man!

[@247sikvideo]

You are the first of many videos I’ve seen that emphasized using open ended lug nut which I think is THE most important part of this installation. I’m almost disgusted to think that everyone is ok applying all that torque on the contact portion of the stud. They all finish and all you see are ground up threads. THANK YOU for your attention to detail

[@mannys9130]

2:35 Personally, I sure do love sliding my stud into the access cavity in the rear. I dunno about everyone else, but it's definitely my favorite preferred way to install my stud.

[@milanmastracci]

😂😂 I see what you did there ahah

[@AutoFixYT]

Side note: if you're using spacers that are wide enough to be bolted on not slipped on, buy bolt-ons lol. But awesome video! If using a slip on spacer, this is exactly how you want to install them. Keep it up!

[@milanmastracci]

Great point! Installing bolt on spacers are both cheaper and easier to install than this method 👍

[@TheBrandonDawson]

The most detailed channel on KZbin. Love the content.

[@milanmastracci]

Super informative, love your vids🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@mostafahasn6999]

Brother could you please show us how to clean throttle body ( wired and electric) and how we reprogram throttle to factory idle . Thank you 😊

[@mannys9130]

Cable operate throttle bodies are very easy to clean. Just get a new gasket that goes between the TB and the intake manifold, remove the TB, and then clean it with throttle body cleaner and a soft brush and rags. Only use throttle body cleaner, nothing else. Electronic TBs are much more tricky. On some, you have to do a relearn procedure with a scan tool if the throttle plate is moved even with it disconnected from power. On others, the relearn is automatic. On others still, the relearn is automatic but it needs to be initiated with a simple procedure. For ones that require a scan tool relearn, you can remove the TB, turn the ignition on, and place something on the gas pedal to hold the plate wide open while you gently clean the whole TB. For others which are automatic, you can disconnect the battery, remove the TB entirely, GENTLY push the plate open, and then clean the whole thing. Again, only use specific throttle body cleaner.

[@isMEJayPee]

Dude! You’re fucking awesome for this video. Don’t have a Z but I have a STi and I really needed this detailed video for the studs. To a car enthusiast to another I thank you. Good luck with your Z.

[@JohnathonMyers]

very thorough, great demo ... since you already are removing the rear hubs, would have been a good time to replace them for a fresh bearing (just a thought). Cool stud installer tool, also!!!

[@JzLyfe]

It wouldn't make much sense to put new ones on considering the car is fairly new, and doesnt really do any type of harsh driving. My s14 is a 95 and I've had the car for 12 yrs with only 1 change of bearings and no problems. 1jz swapped pushing 457hp on a reliable setup.

milanmastracci awesome awesome. Too bad you don’t have a small winter beater for the swap. I would love to see it swap into an eg with electric hydro power steering conversion done to it. That would be sweet to watch and learn.

I got my spacers today man from Eibach, hopefully it’s easy to install them on my civic tomorrow

[@jp554731]

CAUTION: this will not work on Acura’s and Honda’s the stud won’t fit. You will have to remove the hub

[@Randomguy-kn3nv]

What year Acura’s/hondas

[@kevinkev1530]

Great info

[@tutorialuniverse6318]

What are your thoughts on KSP spacers?

[@thomascanning595]

Great job on the video Milan. Keep up the good content!

[@milanmastracci]

Thanks, will do! 🔥

[@StraightLineCycles]

Even though companies make tools to do it pulling it through with the threads is not the proper way to do it. the proper way to do it is undo the hub and press them in using a hydraulic press.

[@mattsigmon8317]

A press is actually the way ARP says to install their studs

[@Unplugged704]

If adding 5mm-8mm spacers, is recommended to install extended studs? I just want to get more clearance from the brake calipers.

[@weliftnation2418]

I dont like that you can see the wheel stud sticking out of the lug nut. Is there a way to get the lugnut to be flush so you can put the 3 piece all together from the 3 piece lug nut you bought?

[@gavintwilley7586]

can torque the rear axel nuts by just putting the hand brake on

[@johnnyf55]

For sure I enjoy the content of all your projects bro, but when is the MINI returning? Looking forward to more of that beast

[@milanmastracci]

It will be coming back 👍 I still have some upgrades and mods to do to it

[@ezekielramirez4705]

And Actually if you are replacing the studs with the stock size you don't need to remove anything but the rotor and brake and the original studs can be hammered out and slide out really easily and vice versa

[@milanmastracci]

Stock for stock, yes you are right. Its just a bit more work if you're going from stock to extended, regardless of how much more extended they are 👍

[@tisoy909]

Now you can be like Fonzi from Happy Days with your Honda Civic because you never slick down at the strip anyway.

[@scorpiosalv]

Hi bro. You have nice ride.

[@milanmastracci]

Hey, thanks man!

[@loganclaproth]

As an Audi guy..... (lug bolts)- if I run spacers do I need to buy longer lug bolts or what?

[@milanmastracci]

Yes you do. So if you have no spacers on your car, you use standard length bolts. If you want to run 10mm spacers, you will need 10mm longer bolts 👍

[@loganclaproth]

@@milanmastracci Thanks man! Keep up the awesome videos!!

I still looking for extended studs for my 2012 civic si dont find it nowhere

[@milanmastracci]

These are what you need, however they seem to be back ordered due to covid: amzn.to/36RNag0

[@zamigoduh8384]

Would a slip on spacer of 3mm need extended bolt?

[@checkmix902]

Great video, Do you really need extended studs for spacers? Seems like a real pain to swap...

[@milanmastracci]

If you know you're going to run something like a 15mm or larger, you can get away with bolt on spacers, but anything smaller than that is a slip on design, which means you NEED extended studs. There's no other way around it, other than buying different wheels

[@checkmix902]

@@milanmastracci Thank you for that clarification! I was becoming a bit confused with all the info that is on the internet

[@antonioviolante6613]

Actually, I was talking about the studs, they stick out a couple millimeters. Are they safe to grind?

[@antonioviolante6613]

Question. The hub bolts from the car hub stick out about 2 millimeters. Is it safe to grind them off? And when I brake there is a grinding noise happening. How do I fix this problem? Please help

[@robw763]

Will arp 100-7729 studs work. Says they fit Subaru WRX/Brx & Scion FRS. Arp has more spline teeth. Didn't wont to force it.

[@milanmastracci]

The studs I linked will work on the Z/G chassis's. ARP doesn't make one specifically for them, however they will work and that's what I have on my car.

[@GusBus528]

What MM size studs of those APR

[@blessed_bk1145]

Which extended studs would work for bk1 2010 genesis coupe ??

[@4thgenmcgee695]

You said these new studs were for a Subaru , how did figure out that they would fit on your car?

[@joon5244]

What's the nut and thread size to hammer i.e. press out the old studs?

[@wiley0714]

If you’re running wheel spacers you want to run as short of a stud as you can. You dont, want to extend them. Its simple physics. A breaker bar is longer because you want the torque to break something off. All you’re going to do is make it easier for your wheels to break off.

[@andrebassaragh4943]

Simple physics, sure. You have to ask yourself, where the force is being applied. That’s like me grabbing the middle of the breaker bar vs the handle. The spacer is what’s causing the change in location of force vs the stud. I could run a foot long stud, the location of the force would remain the same meaning my torque or bending moment on that stud would be the same. However, that’s a simple example that ignores centrifugal loading, weight of the stud itself, etc.

[@Pallidus_Rider]

I want to lift my Olds - can I do the same for the shock/strut bolts?

[@pete9110]

Great video... Do you trust those spacers?...especially when you're pushing the car to the limit on track?

[@milanmastracci]

I do, given that the lug nuts are properly torqued. I've tracked with spacers without problems 👍

[@nonstopclapsify6808]
