Title: question about rear wheel studs
Post by: ADRay on June 20, 2016, 03:25:24 AM
two years ago I had all of the brakes redone on my Mini, including upgrading my fronts from drums to discs.

what I wasn't aware of when I ordered the parts was that I needed the rear drums with built in spacers for the rear to match the wider stance in front.

the rear wheel studs were reused from the original setup.

fast forward two years, I've got the proper drums with the spacers. before I crack into them, I just want to confirm that the old studs will work with the new style drums.

thanks

You'll need longer studs if you have spaced rear drums now.
