It's All About the Build
Today I ordered longer ARP wheel studs for the front hubs & rear axles to accompany my new McGards open end lug nuts. Couple of questions for those of you that have already done this job:
When reinstalling the front hub assemblies, did you replace the dust caps as recommended by Ford, or just the retaining nuts?
Can the rear studs be replaced without removing the axles? Ford's Service Manual clearly shows them being replaced with the axles still in the housing using a c-clamp device to remove them and using a nut with washers to install the new studs. Can the new longer studs be installed using this same procedure?
