I'm sure studs have to be changed
...I've just bought a 2006 connect with what looks like ford alloys on it...taken them off yesterday...and it seems like the studs are too short ..each nut only held on by about 4 threads ...something not right - this van has had those wheels on for a good few years by the looks of it ..
And am i right in saying: to change the front studs, the hub has to come off ..and that means destroyed wheel bearing - so need new bearings and studs
Rear wheels ..by taking the four bolts out at the rear of the drum.......can the studs be got at ...or do i need to buy new "multi segmented nuts" before I to take them off .
all the best..mark
