    Hi Guys. I've tried to fit extended rear wheel studs though the void between the hub and back plate isn't larger enough....so I am going to have to take the hubs off unfortunately.

    So, my question is, once I have the calipers and the brake disks off, is it only the four remaining bolts on the back of the hub I have to remove? Also do I need a puller puller to get the hub off?

    I have checked the manual which seems to suggest that I only need tor remove these four nuts/bolts on the back...just wanted to check.

    Thanks in advance.

    I'm guessing he's referring to bolt on spacers?

    Not that hard to change anyway -one of the few jobs where theses nothing in the way!
