I have 8mm spacers on my rears and bought 50mm wheel studs to put on so I have more threads to grab. I found instructions for the front, but I'm sure the rear are more complicated. Anyone know of a post with instructions?

come on dude... you do it the exact same way. There is no major difference from the front to the rear that you would need to know. Take off the caliper, then the rotor, then pound out old studs, then slide in the new studs, tighten studs up without rotor on til its flush, then put the brakes together and tighten the lugs up on the studs with the wheels on to 100lbs, no more than 100 otherwise you'll stretch the studs and you'll be screwed. Bam, theres your intructions.

 

How come everything I read involves removing the hubs?

 

ah nevermind, I found something helpful on a different site

i had to remove my hubs on my spacer install

 

I was able to install my 5mm longer studs without having to remove the rear hubs. there was enough room between the hub and e-brake assembly to slide in the bolts. I gently tapped out the studs using a sledgehammer.
