Wheel Spacer Studs

MustangMatt96GT · January 19th, 2008, 07:01 PM

Well i bought some 1 inch hub-centric wheel spacers for my rears. Anyway, i planed on tapping out the studs and just having a disk spacer. I bought them to fill the fender out better and to make my 3 inch wheel studs for my slicks to look better. Anyway, i got one out by pounding on it, but the others wont budge. I have let them soak in PB blaster and didn't help. I was wondering if anybody has any suggestions.

Thanks!

they are aluminum right? i dont if aluminum expands like steel if you heat it up, if it does throw it in the oven for a while so it heats evenly

Well if I throw it in the oven, wouldnt all the metal expand? Making it even harder to get them out?

got a mounted vise?

that's what I used... just keep pounding and they will come out.
