[Roadsters] Rear Wheel Studs

[bhollan4 at tampabay.rr.com]

Actually, there is another way.  If you don't mind drilling an appropriately sized hole in the backing plate you can insert new, longer studs through the hole.  I used that technique to put long ARP studs on my car - then used a lug nut to "pull" the stud into the flange.  If you're careful, you can drill the hole in the right spot and then use a rubber plug to seal it back up if so desired.
Doing it this way doesn't require pulling the collar off of the axle which is a PITA.
Good luck,
