You must remove the rear brake disk and then remove the parking brake shoe. You will then be able to press out the studs to replace them.

Why do you need to remove the studs though? Spacers should bolt on like a wheel does and should have another set of studs on them for the wheel to bolt to.

Its a inch spacer had to have longer studs. I put 2wd rims on the 4x4 to give it that lower, wider look.

And you do realize that 2wd rims on a 4wd truck will already push the rims out 1.5" alone...

And I would not like to be anywhere near that truck with 1" spacers between the rim and the axle flange... I don't like spacers in general, but I definitely wouldn't do that.

If i didnt put on the spacers in the rear would it still mess with the bearing, cv etc.
