Replaced my front studs a few mins ago using this video. I did do something different. I removed the lug studs without any issue using a 40 oz sledge hammer with the rotor and caliper in place with out any issues. It made the install very easy by inserting a screwdriver, (wrapped in a towel), into the vanes of the rotor and letting the rotor/screwdriver rest against the caliper when installing the studs. Now for the rears. Thanks for the video
Super informative install. Just purchased the same wheel studs. Do you have any pictures of how the studs look after? I know you showed us at the end but wanted to get a better angle/picture. Thanks!
Great question. They are called "Hub Assembly Mount Bolt" you will need 4 per side and the part# should be W718188-S439. You can get them at any local Ford dealer or any of the many OEM ford parts sites like OEM parts source or Tasca parts...
I've heard of this a lot but never personally experienced it and I do check for it. 1 thing to note Ford recommends the axle nut to be a 1 time use. Plus the rear wheel bearings seem to just be a weak point on the S550.
@@kevkel33 Thanks. I’ve heard same about the bearings, which is why I asked. I’m a long way from being a mechanic, but have been wondering if the axle nuts backing off, undetected, were perhaps the actual cause of the bearings wearing out fast. Mine are ok at 11K miles - I’ve heard they generally start to go at 20k miles on track driven Stangs.
Just keep it off the stud threads. It can lead to the studs being stretched when torquing as the lubrication messes with how the nut grips the stud...especially the 150ft.lbs of a mustang

Your honestly a lifesaver with this video
Glad this helped you out!
Great video! Thank you - just did my ARPs with your video as a guide.
You're welcome. Glad the video was helpful!
Very informative, thank you for posting this.
Why did you do this? To be able to run spacers? Good job. 👍
Appreciate the video. This is what I planned on doing with mine lol.
what bit u use to drill wheel hub with.
Great video thank you sir
Great video. Thanks. Did you do spacers? Is that the reason you installed these?

Thanks hope it helps. I'm sure I could get you them. Anything specific your looking for like wheels on or off etc? Look me up on Instagram kevkel50
@@kevkel33 followed you on Instagram man 👍🏽
Great video. A+ content. Thank you.
Wouldn't extended spline lugs work as well? I have a set already. I may be doing this soon. Thanks!
What was the purpose of this? Are you going to run spacers?
Do you know what the 4 bolts that hold the wheel bearing are called and where I can find them??

Great video.
Following up on this. I referenced this video again when doing wheel studs on my Mach 1. Still good stuff.
I'm looking around for the same wheel studs, but cant find anyone who has them. Just wondering where you got yours from.
You finding axle nuts coming loose on S550s? Sounds like a common problem, which can ruin bearings.

Will these studs work on a 2019 mustang gt?
Yes, getting it done on my 2018
😎😎😎
is anti seize required ?
No just recommended.
100% no, I would not use anti seize on wheel studs.

I don't see the hand break in the rear.
Its there. there is a cable that goes to the caliper itself
