Pull wheel
Remove two caliper mounting bolts and support caliper
Remove rotor
Two taps with a small hammer and each were out
Slip in new bolts and hand tighten until gap between bolt and back of hub closes
Mount rotor
Mount Caliper (need to find actual torque value for those bolts)
Mount Wheel and slowly suck up any slack remaining
Torque to 83 ftlbs



Not to be paranoid, but would you guys be worried about using the old acorn nuts?

Thanks again guys !

I was to slow in typing my previous post. The point is moot.

I am surprised that you got the studs out so easily.

If the the acorn nuts thread over the new studs easily, then they should be fine.
