Wheel studs ?
« on: June 10, 2010 - 12:08:52 AM »
I want to keep my left handed studs when I switch over to disc brakes, and I am not seeing them for sale locally.  Can I just press out my current ones and press them into the new rotors?  or should I mail order them to replace my old studs?

And, looking around, drum studs are different than disc studs... :clueless:

Wow! left handed studs are hard to find.  :pullinghair:

I have checked with many suppliers and nobody has them.  Has anybody seen them or got them from a supplier?

Because I have orginal ralley lug nuts that are in perfect condition.  But, after looking for studs, I may have to change them to right handed.
