Having issues replacing rear wheel studs

[shane7213]

I have a 1990 240sx coupe, in which I am replacing the wheel studs with stronger, nismo ones. My issue is that on the rear driver side the wheel studs arent seating fully. They lack about an 8th of an inch. How do I get them to seat fully?? I have tried the traditional way, to take a spacer and a lug nut and use a impact wrench to pull them into place, and they still are lacking about an 8th. I was thinking just take the hub off and hammer them into place. Which leads to another question. I have taken off all the appropriate parts to remove the wheel hub (to my knowledge), yet it wont come off. I have some background in working on cars but they were mainly hondas. this is the first Nissan I've ever worked on (even tho its one of my dream cars). Please help me out with this, I want my baby back on the road.

Hey shane hows it going? Im replying because i myself am here asking the same question you are. I have three broken wheel studs and cant seem to get to them. i got as far as getting out the axel nut and washer underneath.... now im stumped.. what do i do now? If you could direct me on my next move it would be of great help and greatly appreciated. Thank you

Well the way I took them out is i just took off the brake caliper and rotor and knocked them out with a hammer, but if you need to take off the wheel hub there are four bolts on the back side (you may need to turn the axle to see them) and then it should just slide right off. Mine was stuck though I just had to use a hub puller I borrowed from my neighbor. Let me know if that helps.
