got some new studs ordered

but still cant get the hub off, the studs will not come fully out bc of the splash shield behind the rotors thats welded to the spindle and the spindle also gets in the way

any one else?

i have 3 of my wheel studs stripped out so im needing to replace them asap

how do i get the wheel hub off in order to do this?

ive already taken brakes, rotor and center nut off but cant seem to get the hub off

do i need a pulley puller?

also where can i find some more studs at?

cant find them at the dealer or autozone

thanks

thinking about putting some different wheels on my 2007 awd mkx and was wondering what i could get out of my factory wheels and tires of my mkx

they are 18's and chrome

tires are pretty much done for ( about 30% tread left maybe less)

wheels are not perfect but very nice...very minor scratches and curb rash

the wheels look like these

thanks so much

Preserve the new rotors by properly torquing the lug nuts! :happy feet:

what should the lugs be tourqued to in ft/lbs?

thanks so much

Rotors are warped from improper torquing of the lug nuts--- Invest in a torque wrench and use it properly and you'll have no more warped rotors!

rotors were warped when i bought the car.....wasnt bad at first but got worse and worse as i drove it

went ahead and bought new back rotors and pads since they prollly needed it too

mainly for looks but the front rotors are warped already and dont like turning them b/c more than likely they will get warped again

and autozone wants $80 a piece for stock rotors not counting pads

so i just bought all four rotors and 8 pads for a little over $300

will drilled and slotted rotors and brake pads for an 07 AWD edge work for my 07 AWD mkx? 320mm fronts

doesnt have to be the newest version out but not the oldest either

my mkx did not come with a disk as it was stolen from the car lot

thanks so much
