G35 COUPE Front HUB PIN REMOVAL

[AlpineReliant]

Does anyone know how to take out that PIN that is in the front of the G35 coupe 03-05 on the wheel hub? (not sure if it is on 06+). If I'm not clear, it is the pin that is on there so people who take off the rear wheels don't accidentally put them on the front instead of the back? Just wondering if it is hard to unscrew or what? Thanks for the incite whoever answers this post.

I wanted to run the set of 17x8's around the whole car, but the single pins on the front hubs don't allow the rear rims to be used on the front. si uw as wondering if it was easy to take off.

I'm putting aftermarket winter wheels and tires on my 2007 G35 Coupe and ran into the same problem with the wheel hub pin. I called my local Infiniti service people (Pepe Infiniti, White Plains, NY) who confirmed that the pin was there just to prevent rotation of the larger rear wheels to the front and that removing it would not be a safety or performance problem.
