I was installing my new hubcentric spacers for my rear s13 and its been a nightmare. The bolt I got from the kit all stripped when it was time to but the wheel on.
Actually all four stripped on me. I decieded to abbandon the whole project and put my stock studs one back on. I took some spacers and the lug and tighten it down to pull the stock back into the hub. After getting it in half way I felt very little resistance. not I have lugs thats half way in the hub with striped threads. Help what am I doing wrong and how should I fix it?
Help I don't have any wheel studs.

I cant really understand your problem. But are you using 12mm x1.5 studs? 12 x1.25 is more common and if you have those, that would explain why youre stripping the threads...

Sounds like you may have stripped the threads on the hub.

I'm afraid I have a stripped hub. thats my problem..... hopefully I can get a hub at the junk yard. How to do get the huge lug out on the center of the hub without the whole thing spinning? This have been the worst birthday ever......................

Sorry to hear that. Just install all studs as tight as you can and stick long breaker bar or lug wrench in between studs. The end will hit the ground and the hub won't turn. Good luck.smokey240sx wrote:I'm afraid I have a stripped hub. thats my problem..... hopefully I can get a hub at the junk yard.

BTW, that nut won't spin the hub. Take it off with a long breaker bar.smokey240sx wrote:I'm afraid I have a stripped hub. thats my problem..... hopefully I can get a hub at the junk yard.
