Stupid question!I installed ARP wheel studs on all 4 corners of my car a few years back and I now need new front rotors.My dilemna is..Can I reuse the front ARP wheel studs in my new rotors?They are #100-7708.I really don't want to have to buy a whole new set at $35 or so from Jegs or Summit as no one local carries them.They are in good shape.I am just worried if the knurl will be tight enough after being compressed after their initial install into the first set of rotors?Has anyone done this before or is this a stupid move?

 

Correct me if I am wrong but dont the studs stay in when you change the rotors? I think they stay on the hub...

Hub and rotor are one piece.

 

Your right....

I was thinking of my 86 S10 blazer where the rotor and hub are sep.....

I totally forgot these had the wheel bearing repack too....

I don't think it would be a problem. All the knurl really does is keep the stud from turning while you tighten the nut. I expect that the stud is harder than the rotor anyway so any deformation after installation would be in the rotor, not the stud.

 

That's my train of thought on it...I'm gonna give it a shot!!
