Replacing your rear wheel studs

[TheMoparConnection]

what a pain in the A$$... you must remove your rear axles do so. I had to replace 3 studs today...the 1500 Ram you dont have to, but the design on the SRT-10 you must...This Sucked... a 5 minute job turned out to be almost an hour and a half job.

Is there no way of slipping the new stud from behind? I'm sure taking the old stud out shouldn't be too much of a problem :dontknow:

no room at all! thats what I was thinking.

You'd have thought they would have put a removal hole somewhere on the backing plate/housing to pass a stud through.

That sucks!

I agree, you would really think they would provide access threw a removal hole. Good luck!
