Hi,
received mine on Monday.... a big thanks to Paul for setting this up.

Hi Scott, I can assure you that there is no need to separate the hub body/bearing. If you get your guy to rotate the stud "flange" there will be a position where there is a slightly flatter hub body to flange alignment where you can insert the longer stud in. It will need to be tapped in gently at a very slight angle but it's not an issue where any misalignment or damage will occur. Just get you guy to take a closer look at it off the car...
Thanks I think I'll have a go myself. I think the garage were just more concerned with damaging something. When the owner bought my car back he pointed out a small split on the leather bolster and said if that was me ill sort it out of r you. I reassure him it was there all along the the relief was evident. He's my neighbour and a good guy how many garages would have done that?

I tried the fronts today and confirm that I could not insert the longer studs with the hub in place. The head of the stud is just slightly too big to get past the hub body.
I can see where it might have been possible but no amount of jigging and poking resulted in any difference.
A pity, but the hub will have to be separated.

Unless.......Gary, can you recall if the disc had to be removed? I'm wondering if removing it might just give that tiny bit more lateral flex to jiggle it out. It really is a 'gnat's ****' job.
Disc is on solid, will probably need an impact driver to remove. Any issues with doing this that anyone can envisage? They aren't my favourite tool but much better than a rounded screw head.

A small drop of penetrating oil overnight, impact driver and off they come ... no issues ... would be good to know if this can be completed on the car ... Thanx
Quick Q --- has everyone received their spacers that ordered?
regards, Paul

Yes the disc was removed. But I took the whole assembly off the car. I didn't expose any bearing though. I'd have to look at the parts diagrams to remind myself of all the components. I wasn't a difficult task though for anyone handy enough with some spanners. And yes, I did used and impact drivers to break the screw thread corrosion/locking on. Much better than a mashed head...
