How do you install extended wheel nuts? No guides online

  1. My model of MX-5 is: NC
  2. I’m based near: ldn
  3. I’m looking for technical help or recommendations on: installing wheel nuts

Is there a video or tutorial on how to install extended wheel nuts on an NC? i heard the hub has to be removed but i’ve not come across any video or tutorial for this, thanks

What do you mean by extended wheel nuts, what are you trying to do?

Do you mean extended studs?

Wheel studs*

Yes, do i need to take the hub off?

If there is enough clearance for the new longer studs to be inserted from the rear then no. Try one and see if it is possible.
BUT it is much easier and safer to remove the old studs with the hub on the bench particularly if they are stubbern.
Removing the old studs is the hardest part.
:heart:

i thought removing the hub is the hardest lol, i saw a guy do it on an NB or NA and he did it without removing the hub due to the brake rotor shield being angled inwards towards the strut, providing clearance to rotate the hub and be able to put a new stud in which i hope the NC has got enough

This is my video for the ND, the same principle will apply.
